other gates than the 6346 possible
 

Does anyone know Connect Hosts that are not on the gate 6346?

I am using a local universitary network that has recently banned all the gates to Kazaa, napster, gnutella etc, so we are desperately looking for alternatives...

I am just a simple college kid and am not al computer-know-it-all, so some simple human language in any answer would be much appreciated ;-)

ps: if it is of any help, I am using Macphex 0,7,3 on an iMAC with mac OS X 10,5,1

Thx!

Maybe you can find or install a proxy outside your university network. Socks is using port 1080 by default.

The technical lingo is ports
 

As specified in the TCP/IP protocol somewhere...

Likely you have lots of ports still open and you will be able to even receive push transferes from people on standart ports because they go to your selected port which could be anynumber ...

There was previous posts about that subject and somebody even had some new autoconnecthost file to be downloaded somewhere...

I am in the same situation here except even worse during the semester (which just begun) any overuse of bandwidth may cause even worse reactions from our admins...
That's why I also would recommend to you don't connect to too many peers for searchtraffic - you are a meaningful part of the net if you connect to 2 at a time...

Rename the attached file back to cfg and put it in your .phex directory (or wherever its kept on your system)

use your own servant
 

Why not place your own servant outside your network. Specify your own port and woop, you're done.

To put it in human language:
Use a computer outside the college network to install a gnutella application and in it's preferences, specify you want to use port 6000 or so.
