Okay to get around a firewall essentially what you need is a HTTP tunnler. What this does is switches the port number that a program would traditionally use (Ex. 2267) to a port that wont be blocked by a firewall like port TCP/UDP 80 or 21 (80 for web, 21 for File Transfer Protocol).
I've never had to use these before since Emule, Edonkey, and Overnet (if people are interested in this i can post links to them) have customizable port numbers, and even if they are firewalled they still work.
However i did look around for a few HTTP Tunneling programs and came up with these...
1)
Hopster, it seems to work just fine, and is made specifically to work for Kazzaa, and MIRC, i'm also assuming it supports Kazaa Lite, if not you may have to make the switch. Try this out and let me know how it works. Also this is a freeware version so your bandwidth is increadibly fucking slow, and i cant find any serial number for it to work with.
2. Of all the programs i downloaded, Hopster was the only one made specifically for programs like Kazaa and MIRC. The other programs i got were either HTTP tunnelers for use by network adminstrators, or HTTP tunnelers to just transfer files and not intended for connection oriented programs. So basically as of now there is no #2, sorry.
