Try going to the CDDB URL you gave in your first post from a browser. If
that works (you should get a message about an incorrect number of
arguments), it's probably the proxy settings (strictly speaking it's
proxy, not firewall - they're different things). If that doesn't work
either then it's
has this happened to anyone else?
i occassionally go to the library to do research etc... since i have a
fancy laptop, i figured hey, what the hell, i'll rip some CDs while i'm
here working on whatever.
well, that would be great except the freedb lookup balks in the damn
library. i have net
It's due to the firewall settings. I don't know whether you can
configure EAC to use your browser's settings instead.

i don't follow what you mean...
this addy doesn't work either:

wouldn't both the browser and the above be using the same port? (ie.
80)
and how is skype working?
i don't know how, or if its even possible to get EAC to use the
browsers settings nor do i

Who nows what they filter ? or which ports they close for what traffic

No, it is not a matter of port.
When you connect to the internet from a company (or a library), to make
it simple, you connect through another computer : a firewall.
Normally, when you connect to the library's network, the browser *may*
get automatically the firewall settings (address and port)

Library's may also block a lot of sites and programs in the firewall.
It may be your problem. Can you use any other programs that access the
internet at the library? You might try that and see. There is a way to
download the freedb onto your computer so that you don't need the
access. You
ok, i understand. the problem is i don't know that information, but i
will ask.
addititonally i'm confused b/c everything else worked automatically,
only EAC is having an issue, but i would guess your solution is a good
one, if i had the info.
