The situation is that I am at Ohio State University. They have a firewall that prevents the setting up of a ftp server, or using file sharing applications (Kazaa, etc.) I connect to the internet through ethernet with TCP/IP. Some things work like AIM, Half-Life, and ICQ work just fine. Strangly Kazaa works, but extremely slow and unreliably. I know people have been able to get around the firewall but they won't say how.
