You may need to open port 6699 on the firewall, or alternatively in nap.conf you can specify port 0 which bypasses firewalls (don't ask me how). I used to work at an ISP where our entire operation was based on FreeBSD and when I set port 0 I got right through. Also if your still running windoze I might suggest napigator. It will give you a listing of every napster server there is by name. What you can do is then take that name and find in the configuration file where it's looking for a login server (usually- server.napster.com) and replace it with whichever one you chose. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Banning Date: Monday, November 6, 2000 7:30 pm Subject: Error connecting socket error from napster > I just installed napster and on first fireup I get only; > > $ nap > Reading config... > Getting best host... > Error connecting socket > > the docs seem sparse, and the web site too. > > I don't see a lot on the subject in our mailing lists.. > > I am not sure about the nap.conf file, which comes like so; > > user=username > pass=? > upload=music/;music2/ > download=music/ > dataport=6699 > connection=3 > email=email@here.com > > I didn't know what to put in the user name, so I registered with > napster under windows, and then inserted my username and password > from there nap.conf file. > > Any ideas? > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > Are you going through a gateway/firewall.
