Recently my computer has been added to another computer to share the intenet service (cable) we are connected by router. Although i can browse and download i cannot use my regular programs like napster, micr, and morpheus. A error screen always ask if im behind a firewall. Please help. Thanks Feel Free to reply or email

Matt,
Most of the routers out there perform some kind of packet filtering, and by default, they don't let everything through. You'll probably have to modify the configuration to allow those protocols through.
Head to the websites for each software package and ask the technical support folks (or it might be on the web site soewhere) what ports the programs use. Then configure your router accordingly.
Best of luck,
Chase

Hey Matthew, check out 8wire's forum. Someone posted something similar to what your experiencing. I forgot what they were talking about, but you might want to look into it. Good Luck!

Well I know for Napster you can set it up so that it ignores your firewall, but in your case all you need to do is open the ports that your programs use on your router. What kind of Router do you have?

napster is easy (or was easy ;) ) you can specify which port you want napster to listen on. I'm looking for information on which port(s) morpheus uses.

Hi' all you have to do is set morpheous to your ip address of the server an port that it use;s' go to tools, options, firewall. in the morpheous's tool bar. hope this helps,it works good here.i am useing analogX for my proxy program. Jim.

WEll in my school we conect our lap-tops to theirs network, the speed of internet is very good like 5 mb in less than one minute, but I can configure morpheus for theirs network, I donīt know if I have to put in host the rout like proxy.ccm.itesm.mx, or what??, or if I have to change the settings os the internet opcions.
plz help me

are there any other ports that morpheus uses.?
my school has blocked out mopheus
and id like to try to connect to another port.
thx

Yeah, I have the same problem as Ghozter...anyone here know how to break through the firewall on the netwrok router?

I opened up port 1214/tcp on my firewall, but am unable to even register Morpheus with a username/password. I would assume it uses 1214/tcp and not udp. ANy one know if only tcp 1214 needs to be open?

Here is an active portscan of the local machine and the IP/UDP Ports that Morpheus uses...I did it several times and if you pinhole the router/firewall to allow these ports you should be able to get out...some of the ports above 1024 are arbitrary though so be VERY CAREFUL about what ports you open!!!
I have replaces my local IP addr. with XXX.xxx for security purposes...but here is an active scan of the PORTS that Morpheus used
at the time the scan was taken....Service PID Local IP Addr. State Protocol Path

Hello, my name is Carlos and i'm sending this message to tell the web, that may do web pages explaining how to fix the problems of the following programs:mirc, kazaa, morpheus. So my problem is that it can't connect, and if i create a new user, it tells me that maybe i'm behind a firewall. And its not only on these programs, is on all programs that can download music, softwares, videos,ect.
So i whish somebody care of all the people that has certain problem, to please help them.
Thank you!
!Remember us!

Damn... Here we go... My Univ.'s just blocked out Morpheus and Kazaa... sucks... we're behind a firewall.. okay so far I've figured you can bypass the firewall by reconfiguring the port number, Fact... this isn't possible on morpheus client... even my icq was blocked but By putting the server port to 21... damn... anyone figured an alternative client program based on HTTP and not ftp... this seems to slip by...Cheers... and hope..!!

you can change the ports for morpheous. you have to go into regedit and change the hexadecimal entry to what ever port you want to use. It's different for win95/98 than 2000/xp. Email me for details. anomaly5@aol.com
