I think my school blocked Kazaa

[Guest bob_barron]

Recently my Kazaa wasn't working and so I redownloaded it and it still isn't connecting.

 

My school asked us to delete it a while ago and no one did so I think they somehow deleted it.

 

Anywho- anyway I can get around this so I can use kazaa??

I'm guessing your school has a LAN. Did you try using a proxy server? If that doesn't work you might have to go dial-up if you want to use it.

What's a proxy server? Sorry- I'm not very computer literate.

 

I can't use dialup since it's a college internet service

I'm not exactly sure what it is, but whenever my school would block things I was told to put in a proxy server and I could bypass what the school was blocking.

 

Right click IE and go to Properties, then click the connections tab and then click LAN settings, after that click the "use a proxy server for your LAN" box. Just for example (it doesn't work anymore) the address I used to use was www.proxy.ozemail.com.au and then it was port 8080. The hardest part will be finding a proxy address that actually works.

 

If you use dial-up you'd have to use AOL or something like that. Dial-up will for sure work because you won't be using your school's servers and then they'll have no control. The only problem is going back to 56k.

 

EDIT - If you've got any computer nerd friends they should know of some proxy servers that work, or at least know of some websites that have a list.

A proxy just basically means a substitute. So you're no longer even on your school's server anymore. Port 1212 I hear works for good Kazaa when using proxy connections.

www.shareaza.com and bypass the mess by going on another P2P system.
