I can't connect either w/ a LAN in a dorm . I'm using an iBook w/ OS 10.1.2. I ran the telnet test and got "Gnutella OK" but still can't connect. A PC friend down the hall ( on the same LAN) uses WinMx and downloads up the yin-yang and WinMx is also a peer-to-peer.


My question is this: If my telnet test DID show "Gnutella OK" and my PC friend can download through our school's LAN using a peer-to-peer app, why won't Limewire ( either Pro version OR basic 2.5.5 - I've tried both) work on my Mac?

Is it a Gnutella-specific thing?

I also downloaded BrickHouse and set it to "accept Gnutella traffic" ( which apparently un-blocks your firewall if need be) and that did nothing.

At this point I really don't know what to do.
My school's IT dept. set up my Network control panel ( system pref) with several different IP addresses: an IP address, a Subnet mask address, a Router address and my Ethernet address.


Do any of these have anything to do w/ configuring Limewire to work w/ the LAN / Ethernet network?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!


Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
