<---New. Anyway to block Kazaa from being detected on a network???

[Krayzie993]

Is there anyway to block kazaa from being detected on a network. I'm on a college campus that does not allow P2P programs, but can i do something so i can use them and they won't be able to tell that i am using them??? Any help would be great.

You just need to rename the shortcut in your 'Startup' folder.

Instead of KaZaa, call it something like . . .

"This is not a P2P program", that should fool just about any system admin.

EvilRick:

How about before starting up kazaa, disconnect the the computer from the network!


Seriously though, please read our FAQ to understand what is acceptable postings http://www.techimo.com/forum/misc.php?s=&action=faq

man, thats really rough that your campus is blocking any P2P exchange but its the colleges right to protect itself and its students/employees.

Our college doesn't mind P2P in the least, it really isn't that bad here either.

As far as punching through your gateway with a P2P, im gonna guess that you're pretty much screwed, its not the name of the program that alerts the network, its the list of IP's and protocols that are run.

and as stated above, activities as such are banned from conversation here.

Just wait until the RIAA comes knocking on their door. You will see an immediate, and drastic change in policy.

P2P programs are quickly becoming the new "Head Shops". You know, those places that sell all the wild drug paraphernalia? Notice there aren't many around anymore? Sure, it's not illegal to sell a skull shaped bong, and you could use it smoking your Marlboro Lights, but that's not why people buy them.

Same with P2P. Sure, you could use it to share your pictures of the annual family trek to Wallyworld, but that's not why it's so popular. Kazaa is for downloading MP3's, and because that's it's primary use, more and more schools will restrict their use. They won't want to risk the lawsuits from the music industry.
