b80211 Premium join:2003-09-13 Cedarhurst, NY	p2p on college network It seems my college has blocked my favorite p2p software Bearshare. Right now I am currently home and I was wondering if anybody knows of software I can setup on my home computer and connect to my home network from school to sort of tunnel or something? Details would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

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!)

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.
