Hi all,
my College ISP has blocked all interesting ports, like the ones used for sharing clients such as Morpheus, Kazaa, napster etc... due to what they claim to be "bandwidth concerns" or whatever. My question is, is there any way to get around this? also, what are some ports OTHER than the common ones that you can use and configure software to use that might be blocked.
As for the poortnumbers that ARE blocked, I have no idea what they are, but they blocked ALL ports that may be used by software like morpheus, kazaa, etc...
Someone please help!

Well HTTPort will allow you to route all your traffic via port HTTP 80. It's not amazingly fast though.
