Why cant I connect to any peer to peer music sharing program?

You may have a firewall blocking you.  Peer to Peer requires being able to connect out and for people to connect back to you.  If you have a firewall in place, it can prevent that.  There may be settings within the applications to specify that you have a firewall in place and, therefore, use other connection techniques.\n\nIf you have no firewall on your box, then your ISP may have a firewall in place on their system that blocks P2P traffic.  I don't know of any specific ISPs that are doing this right now, but it doesn't mean none exist.  If you are using an educational facility (a university or similar), they may be blocking P2P traffic over liability concerns.\n\nAs a side note, P2P programs are not illegal as other people may have mentioned.  P2P is simply a way to transfer files between two computers.  There is nothing inherently illegal about this activity.  What becomes an issue is if you transmit copyrighted material.  If the material you are transferring is copyrighted, then that is considered copyright infringement and is against the law.  But, if you are transferring your own personal videos, images or other non-copyrighted or public domain materials, then it is not illegal to use P2P for that purpose.

Did you run the xp network setup wizard on both pc's?\nDid you check that you don't have firewall software preventing sharing. The wizard should take care of the xp firewall, but if you have norton or something like taht, you will need to add a trusted network.

#1 You may have a firewall installed and its blocking the PORTS needed to search and return results...\n\n#2 The program you are using does not use the gnutella or gorilla or other same P2P networks that limewire, bearshare, morpheus, and kazaa all used, therefore probably no one has it and there are no files to even be found.\n\nForget about that program, download http://www.morpheus.com\n\nClick no to installing the toolbar when it asks.

Try using BT/P2P software.

there aren't any sites like that because it's illegal and they usual get shut down. but you can either get a filesharing program like morpheus or something. or do what I do which is download this program called bitcomet, then you go on a site like torrentspy.com and there is a lot of music you can download, and usually you download whole albums at a time which is better than filesharing where you download songs individually.

It is probably your firewall. Reconfigure your firewall settings and your limewire internet connections go head and configure that.

Yeah, the easiest option is to go to http://www.download.com and click music, there will be a lot of p2p programs there, the most popular and easiest to use is limewire.

P2P is generally not legel unless you download those which are freely available elsewhere.\nAnd it has no garranty to be safe.

open limewire, go to file, then connect. Maybe thats the problem. In the options part, someone may have told it to not to connect on startup.

on the same network running windows XP go into the file properties, right click properties, then click sharing and share it, from seperate areas using pcanywhere or use a peer 2 peer network such as kazaa or limewire

Skip LimeWire (too many ads) and just get Cabos:\n\nhttp://cabos.sourceforge.jp/\n\nIt connects to the same P2P networks without the hassles and nagging of LimeWire.

Check your firewall settings or double click to download songs

Any P2P program is risky.  They allow anyone to gain access to your computer.  I myself dont use any of the P2P programs anymore.  Use iTunes, even though it costs, its much safer

try p2p programs such as emule or limewire or warez
