p2p on college network in Campus Broadband Chat http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r15583286 en Tue, 01 Dec 2009 09:49:07 EDT Tue, 01 Dec 2009 09:49:07 EDT Re: p2p on college network http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15597233 z9_87 : Most likely what your college is doing is either A) packetshaping or B)Blocking ports.
If they're just blocking ports then all you have to do is switch the port that your software runs on. I think all p2p apps have this ability in their settings somewhere.
If they are packetshaping (more likely) then you have some problems. One solution is to set up a proxy server to your house as u mentioned or use a pay service like http tunnel. Another solution that just came availible recently is encryption of the traffic. This way the packetshaper can't tell what it is. Only two p2p progs that I know of do this now and they are both BT. Azureus and utorrent. Look in their options for using the encryption.

Thats what I did my first 2 years at college when I was in the dorms. Comcast was great cause I was one of three on the node for that block. (Then got my own place with cable internet again!) ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15591260 Wed, 01 Mar 2006 20:09:45 EDT Re: p2p on college network http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15585177 b80211 : I've downloaded it not to sure how to run it.
