Kazaa Lite
won't connect. What's wrong?
Check the following things:
- Are you running a firewall? Try disabling
it.
- Windows XP also has an build-in firewall.
Disable it.
- Are you on a school/university/work network?
Then the port used by Kazaa Lite may be blocked.
Try setting a different port in Options.
•
What
firewall settings should I use?
Rule based firewalls should use these settings:
#1 Permit outbound TCP/UDP connections for Kazaa
on all ports.
#2 Permit inbound TCP/UDP connections for Kazaa
on all ports.
ZoneAlarm settings can be found below on this
page.

Which
Internet Providers might block Kazaa?
Possible Internet Providers blocking Kazaa:
AOL
Road Runner
Charter Communications
AT&T
Some Internet Providers block port 1214 which
is key in making Kazaa Lite work. Some Internet
providers don't block the port, but have other
ways of blocking Kazaa (Lite) and other p2p applications.
•
What
can I do if port 1214 is blocked?
Usually when port 1214 is blocked, this is
because of a firewall or a proxy server. With programs
such as Socks2http
or Http-Tunnel
you can bypass these firewalls and proxies.
If you use Kazaa Lite 2.0.0 or higher there is
another thing you can try:
Go to Kazaa Lite options. Go to the firewall tab.
Change the port from 1214 to anything above 1024.
For example use port 3500. This way you don't
have to use any of the tunneling programs described
above. Just as you have no restrictions. Now the
first time you connect with this new port settings
may take some time. As soon as you are connected
for the first time, the next times it will connect
much faster. If this trick does not work, then
try some more ports. You can also try common ports
such as 20, 21, 80, 8080, 443.

I
use ZoneAlarm Pro and I have problems starting Kazaa
Lite
There is a bug in version 3 of ZoneAlarm
Pro that is causing this. A new version of ZoneAlarm
Pro has been released recently that fixes these
problems. Also check out the Firewall section in
FAQ to learn more about how to set up ZoneAlarm
Pro. Use Zone Alarm Pro version 3.0.134 or higher.

I have a proxy server running
and I can't Connect
If you use a proxy server you might have
forgot to input your proxy settings in Kazaa Lite.
Go to options, firewall tab and fill in the settings.

How should ZoneAlarm Pro 3
be setup for Kazaa Lite?
First of all make sure you have a recent
version of ZoneAlarm Pro 3. Old versions have a
couple of nasty bugs. There are two ways to setup
up your firewall, either on high or medium. Kazaa
Lite should work with ZoneAlarm Pro 3, but not always.
Either way, first start out by opening Kazaa Lite
up. You will get a message from ZoneAlarm Pro 3
saying "Do you want to allow Kazaa Lite to
access the Internet?" Put a check mark next
to "Remember this answer the next time I use
this program." Then click yes. Next it will
ask "Do you want Kazaa Lite to act as a server?"
Put a check mark next to "Remember this answer
the next time I use this program." Then click
yes. Now close Kazaa Lite.
For setting up ZoneAlarm Pro 3 with your firewall
on high:
Now click on the Firewall tab on the left side
and you will see the Internet Zone Security that
should be set on high. To the right of that is
a button "Custom", go ahead an click
on it. If you scroll down a little in that window,
you should see just before you get to Medium Security
Settings, four boxes in front of Allow incoming
/ outgoing UDP / TCP port:. All four boxes should
be checked, and type in 1214 below where it says
port for each one. Then hit ok. Then close ZoneAlarm
Pro 3 window.
•
I
have setup ZoneAlarm Pro 3 as above but having problems
uploading or downloading files
Some times Kazaa can be a real port hog and
want to use all the ports. Firewalls can get in
the way of this. The best option is to set ZoneAlarm
Pro 3 on medium setting.
For setting up ZoneAlarm Pro 3 with your firewall
on medium:
Open ZoneAlarm Pro 3 window up and click on the
Firewall tab on the left side. You will see the
Internet Zone Security that should be set on medium.
To the right of that is a button "Custom",
go ahead an click on it. If you scroll down a
in that window, you should get to Medium Security
Settings. In that area you should have all the
boxes un-check except for four boxes. The four
boxes you should have checked ar the two Block
Net bios (Port 137-139), and Block incoming /
outgoing ping (ICMP ping). Then hit ok. Then close
ZoneAlarm Pro 3 window.
How to configure Socks2http
In kazaa, go to Tools > Options menu.
Once in the menu click firewall tab.
Now enable socks5 proxy server.
Host: localhost
Port: 1080
Now start the sock2http program. Right-click
on it's icon in the taskbar (bottom right
of your screen) and select Configuration.
Proxy configuration: If you know the proxy of
your school/work, fill it in here. Otherwise select
'Try to detect proxy automaticly'.
Leave all other settings the way they are. Now
click on finish. You have to restart the program.
Right-click on its icon and select Terminate.
Now start the program again.
Kazaa should now be able to connect.

I
get an error that "Kazaa is too old to connect"
when using Socks2http.
Try filling in a proxy server (most ISPs
have one) in socks2http settings.
Try using version 0.881 or higher (older versions
may have been disabled)
Try to detect proxy automatically
Gateway is www.totalrc.net using port 80 |
