    Ok I'm on a University wireless network. They've currently blocked all ports that do anything other than internet browsing. I've been bored out of my mind and really want to play some of my old online games. Is there anyway that I can open these ports? I don't know if that's legal or not, but if it's not, then is there a way to get around it? I've seen a few guys playing World of Warcraft on network computers and I don't know how they do it. I've tried every game I own (besides WoW, I gave my account away) and I can't connect. Now I CAN however, connect on the 56k, but as any of you who have done this know, it's a waste of time.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Ask the guys playing Wow, they must know something. Typically, circumventing a network would be illegal, your school would cut you off, so not sure if we want to break the law here :)

    Well honestly, I haven't seen those guys for a while. And actually, I'm going to be dropping out soon so I wouldn't mind if they cut me off. I have other ways of getting on the net if they did that. If there's a way, I would most definitely like to know, unless that's not allowed here on MajorGeeks. It's been a while since I've joined and so I haven't read terms of use or anything like that since then. If you could tell me how, I'd appreciate, but if that's against the rules I understand. I'll have to review those terms I guess.

    We basically dodge anything that may be illegal, so that we are not held responsible. Appreciate your understanding. Too bad, sometimes I want to hack around. I have to assume someone was routing through a proxy, might be a good place to start Googling :) Good luck, dont be a stranger.

    Thanks. I completely understand. I try and keep things completely legal at my own forums, just didn't know whether or not MajorGeeks is the same. Don't worry, I won't be a stranger. I always come here for all the problems I can't fix myself if my life depended on it. Thanks again.
