This question is out there to anyone who may know the answer. I am trying to use Gnutella at Anderosn University, since they have banned Napster and a handful of other programs like it. It is my understanding that Gnutella is decentralized, however, I have used several different variations of the client software and can not connect from here. Does anyone know if colleges are trying to ban this now, too?!?!

You're probably behind a firewall.

Did you enter a server?

I know this msg is from way back - I just tried to use it today - also at an university. It looks as if all the institutions that uses Novell Bordermanager have this on their banned list

Geez, people don't get it. If you can't connect, use a different port (such as 8080, 80, 5190, etc) and find several hosts also using the port (or do it reverse, find clients using odd ports and set your port to the most popular one that isn't blocked by your firewall. The ones mentioned should be default as they have other uses and would never be banned. Too bad no one WANTS to change.
