Limewire blocked

[husla_16]

I am the jr. network admin at work, recently, a new fortigate router was installed over the weekend. Now that this fortigate was installed, I no longer have access to my limewire or some of my online pokersites I used to use after work. Do you have any ideas on how to unblock limewire? I've contacted tech support at fortinet about this issue, and have not heard from them yet.

Im not suprised they havent got back to you. Limewire is an illegal program to run and download files from.

Sorry but here at TSF we DO NOT support P2P applications.

From our forum's rules http://www.techsupportforum.com/rules.php :

We believe that the main purpose of P2P programs is to illegally download and use copyrighted material of whatever description. We further understand that there may be legal uses for P2P, but as we are not able to assess a user's intent when he/ she asks for help, we do not support P2P software and we will not assist any user in this regard. This includes but is not limited to Bearshare, Kazaa and many others.

We will not assist any user who, in our opinion, is clearly trying to circumvent his company network protocols or restrictions put on his system by a Network Administrator. Again we have no ability to assess the user's intent.
