Problem with Cox Communications?
 

I've seen several complaints about Cox Communications in Arkansas blocking P2P. I've checked my Bug Report and can confirm that the problem appears to be with Cox. Can something be done about this? :mad:

-MMM-

How to fix this problem:

1. Move out of Arkansas
2. Drop a bomb on Cox's HQ in Tyler, TX
3. Go somewhere where you can get Road Runner or Comcast.

Good points! I made further quick references to Cox here

O_o..... Isn't there ANY way you can bypass this??!?!?!??!?! I WANT MY LIMEWIRE BACK!!!!! :( EVEN KAZAA DOESN'T WORK!!!

Telephone the company & ask them to stop putting the breaks on you. You pay for a particular service but you're not receiving that service b/c it is being secretly restrained.

I live in texas and I have cox communications cable internet. I also have lime wire, Kazaa and Panda Anti Virus and they all are working together and are fine for me. Roadrunner and Comcast have firewalls also. pretty much every DSL or Cable internet company does.

i have cox cable in arkansas and my limewire seems to work fine...i think that i am only able to connect to other cox ip addresses though...i uesed to be able to connect to any ip, but then one day it took forever to connect and after it finally connected, i discovered that the only ultrapeer connections that i had where to other cox ip's.. the only way that i ever got it to connect was to be calm and keep trying to connect..sooner or later it will fine the cox ips and it will work fine

Cox....sudden re-boot
 

Hey Guys....

I just signed up for Cox about a week ago and have had problems with LW also.....

When i start LW, it runs for about a minute or so then it automatically re-boots my laptop. A message after says windows has just recovered from a serious error. I also upgraded to LW4.8 and have the lastest Java update.

Anyone out there having a similar problem ??

If so, any suggestions ??

Man i miss my LW !!!

This must be why when using LW that im connected for about 10 min's then i get booted....i almost thought it was my router that was at fault.

The odd thing about COx is that they don't pick on everybody. I assume as soon as they detect you both downlding & uplding much more than the average surfer then you may come to their attention whereby they will filter your speeds. They not only apply this principle to LW but also other p2p clients. The question is do they use a p2p detection softw. If yes then their might not be a simple solution.

Possibly worth a look at are:
