I guess they have a firewall on the phone lines too huh?

My university just installed PacketKeeper this semester, no games, no IRC, no p2p....sucks

Moving off campus in January though.

no EQ = greater GPA
you'll see :P

Kinerry · 12-21-2003, 12:25 PM

there are ways around this...such as changing ports

Fatal · 12-21-2003, 12:28 PM

can try a vpn to an offsite server if the firewall isn't blocking vpn's.

Jukax · 12-21-2003, 04:09 PM

Changing ports doesn't do anything. We set up a tunneling proxy with an off-campus friend serving as the gateway, but everyone involved got judicials for trying to bypass "safety and security" measures.

The wise man needs to learn the difference between then and than.

Drop the 10 to 20 bucks a month most dial-up providers charge for unlimited time and use a phone modem. It sucks compared to broadband, but you're still playing.

I had this problem my first year of college so I just quit playing. Then for some reason the following year everything worked peachy. So yeah, have fun with that.

In that case, though, it works either way :b
