When I host no one can join. I can host files on Kazaa. The can download them too. So whats up? I looked at all the FAQs and stuff. Can some one help me out? Thanks

Your problem is that you use Kazaa. Delete it immediately, and throw your computer out your window.

Another problem is that you're behind a firewall/router. Search for "firewall" or "router" on the forums.

Kazaa Lite! It is a remake of kazaa. Is has no spyware, backdoors, ect. Go to www.KazaaLite.com. What I want to know is this. When some one downloads from my comp with kazaa what port do they use? If you don't know how can I find open ports? My Dad doesn't want me messing with the router so I can't chang that. What els can I do?

And how does getting rid of spyware, backdoors, etc. make it any less illegal?

Question: Does your dad not want you messing with it because he doesnt want you to (ie. he's like a freaking computer genius) or because he's worried your going to mess it up?

Either way, just check out the manual, look for "port forwarding" If he's the computer genius type just simply say to him that you think its what you need to be able to use the games. If hes not the genius type, you may have to search the forums a bit for "router" or "port forwarding" or even "DMZ host" (Linksys routers have it, it basically puts a computer of your choice outside the router.)

he's like a freaking computer genius/security freak. It is a linksys though. I will talk to him about that out side the router thing. Thanks.

Here's a good question. Why the hell would Kazaa bring out a version with 'no' spyware or ads when they can make MILLIONS marketing your computer data?

That's very creative use of the word 'no'.

If he's a security freak, then why does he let you use any version of Kazaa?
