Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines.

 My Network Administrator Blocks Limewire Hey guys, my name is Vince and I'm attending a private boarding school. My story is very simple: I bought Limewire Pro and downloaded it onto this laptop, using this little money I had. It's my second day here at school and I just found out that Limewire is blocked by my the firewall of my school's network. I was left with dispair because It seems to me that I just wasted 20 bucks. As I was looking through the forums on this website I found hints that there is hope for bypassing my administrator's firewall. I found this quote from searching: "Also, most college networks block sharing and/or Gnutella. Although there are ways to get around it, I'm not about to tell you how" (http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...administrator). Can you please help me bypass my administrator's firewall so that I can use Limewire Pro?  |

| I have personally never came across a thread that explains ways around it and I haven't seen Deepblue around for a long time either... Are there any other students at your school that use Limewire, they may know of a way....

| Yes, and we all have to resort to Itunes! I can't tell you why my administrator blocks Limewire and not Itunes... I still have hope. Deepblue seemed like he knew what he was talking about in his post, so I still have faith that there is a way. People might not be willing to share such precious information with others, however. |

| Yeah, my administrator blocked allot of games, mostly those sponsered and connected by gamespy (halo, battlefront, battlefield, and fear to name a few) and battle.net (starcraft, warcraft, diablo, and WoW), and the list goes on by blocking Limewire and Kazaa. There is one game he hasn't blocked yet: Guild Wars on its ArenaNet servers; but i'm sure he'll pounce right on that once he catches some kid playing it during study hall. If i didn't have so much homework, then i would probably be taking on this project by myself. I guess i just need a little help. I may just be a wishful dreamer... He also blocked A.I.M., but we quickly fixed that by merely changing the Port AIM passed through (to 53). I tried changing the port of Limewire, even allowed ports like port 80, 20, and 21. Then i tried a few completely random ports, like port 1675 or 4968; they were all in vain. I came to the conclusion that changing ports just won't fix my problem... |

| The reason he is blocking Limewire (probably the whole Gnuttella network) is that (young) students don't use common sense and run the internet bill for the school skyhigh. This is because of movies mostly and if he was to allow limewire all the bandwidth that the school has would be used 24/7. At my school students found a way around this and the only thing to come out of this is now the whole internet is turned off most of the time. If someone needs the internet for school purposes they will have to go and ask if their internet can be turned on for a couple of hours. You wouldn't want that right ?? As for games I don't think that your parents would like very much that the only thing that you learned in school was how to beat everyone else at games (Allthough I know this annoying, but same deal. Students playing games 24/7) |

| Sleepless, Let's set aside the economic and social issues of allowing shareware and online games in schools... and although I agree with you concerning the online games, I don't understand how running on maximum bandwidth will skyrocket the price of the internet. I thought the internet was paid the same amount monthly, regardless whether you use it once a week for a couple of hours or 24/7. I thought only phone companies pay you for every byte. |

| While that is often the case with private subscription it's unfortunatly not the case with big schools. In many cases no ISP will allow a school to get unlimited flatrate because of the excessive usage of bandwidth the students pull each month if they allow it. They often get a set amount of GB's each month You will get much better answers on this issue by just talking nicely to your administrator. |
