so far I haven't seen nearly enough information to make any real response....

I am trying to give you more info. Will any of this help? My forth light says TCP firewalled UDP firewalled. I am trying to connect from work, I am using windows xp pro sp3, I have 782.8 available ram, disk space available 28.82, the router is Netopia 2247NWG, there is also another box that says Sonicwall TZ190. I am trying to use BS 5.1.0b25 & bearstart. I have windows firewall off but I allowed TCP & UDP for port 6348, I am in forced ultrapeer mode. I do not think there have been any updates to the system & up until last week I was using a different BS version I think it was 5.2.5.9 but when that stopped working I downloaded the BS 5.1.0b25. I tried port forwarding for Netopia 2247 because Netopia 2247NWG did not show up on the list but I could not gain access when I got to the point of enter network password. Thats all I got for now, I just want BS to work is there anything you can tell me from this info or do I need more. Thanks

yeah....take the following with a grain of salt...

perhaps you should be working, not filesharing...I guess it didn't occur to you that people in your company want you to work and have therefor implemented measures to prevent you from doing activities that they deem inappropriate on THEIR premises using THEIR internet connection..

Ok I got the grain of salt thing....but just so you know I work in a small private company & they know I use BS I have even gotten music for my boss. We use an outside place for our system & if I am blocked it is not because my company said to do it. So I guess my question is.....Is that the problem & if it is what do I have to tell these outside people to do so I can get back on BS? And as far as I know in the past couple of weeks they did not do anything to cause me blocked intentionally.
