Hi all,

I would kindly like to know if any of you have any experience with keeping a P2P conection going behind a firewall.

I am at a university where I get charged for downloading from behind the firewall, but there are several other enthusiastic P2P users inside the firewall, so what I want to do is stay inside the firewall. What I have done is compiled a hosts list of all the ip addresses that I know have P2P support.

I have managed to get this to work on the 0.92b version but for whatever reason i cant get it to work on my newly installed 0.92 stable.

The connecttions are just failing to quickly and I suspect a config problem. Where can I set the connection time before it times out?

Any other suggestions on where I could have gone wrong?

Thanks

Gnucleus changes the connect header to "GNUCLEAR CONNECT" or something like that, and also puts out a LAN: header so you would want to change the source code.
Some of the other clients let you change this in the config files.

If someone works on a patch to allow gtk-gnutella to try several protocol strings before it gives up then please speak up, otherwise I'll start doing it. I won't make a config option, though, because I'm not into GUI programming.
