Napster and ICS

I use internet connection sharing (ICS) from MS Windows SE. I can do everything but use Napster. I get on fine, but when I try to transfer a file I get a transfer error and not even 1kb gets transferred. Also, when I installed Napster the software couldn't find a port and asked if I was behind a firewall. Please help.

I just had a quick glance at Napster a minute ago (downloadable from c/net) and it sure looks like a copy cat af gozzila which has treated us very well, perhaps see for yourself.
I don't understand either. Since when does Go!Zilla have the ability to connect to a Napster Server. Maybe I need to look for a newer version.

I tried Napster some more and eventually I got to download a full song. I think it must be something with my ISP and what router I connect to. Probably Metallica's fault. I am never listening to them again. Music is art and should be distributed freely or cheeply especially when the cd costs very little. Record companies will go down until they make it easier and cheaper to buy a CD than make one. Start charging $5 for a cd not $15. If artists were smart they wouldn't sign with any recrd companies unless it was a short contract just to get popular.
Artist are still making money I still buy thier tapes to play in my car. But they are being greedy trying to stop napster. I refuse to buy anymore cds from artist who are trying to shut down napster ......
