p2p connections crashing network switch

silviLJ · 02-14-2007, 02:27 PM

Hi, i have this problem for some time, and i don't use p2p in any illegal software for file sharing, my world of warcraft blizzard's updater and a internet gaming client that uses p2p to transfer updates, in case of the updater and to make a virtual lan between players in the gaming client(GG Client). So what do i do to solve this problem? i got two computers and a switch, and i share the internet connection from one to the other, they are connected through a switch, he breaks down everytime :|. Please help!

Hi,

Since we cannot discriminate against P2P support that may or may not be used for illegal sharing, I have to close this thread. I do think, however, that it is debatable as to whether this violates the rules, and am consulting other TSF staff members.

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.

I have consulted with one of the TSF administrators, and he agrees that assistance cannot be given in this situation. Sorry.
