How to play online games like age of empires? our college server has a firewall not letting to play games?
Question:
2.MSN gaming zone is also not allowing to play
3.Tried various gaming zones
Answer:
why dont you try playing on LAN.
The firewall will not restrict it.
its pretty much a lost cause then unless you can find a way round the firewall which unless your a good hacker you've got no chance
Ask the administrator. And if he still says no then find a network guru or some kid whos good at network hacking. Hack into the network change the settings or port forward on the router that is connected to the same network as yourself.
You dont nessesarily need to disable the firewall just ask someone to allow certain ports to send and retrieve information. Find out the ports for the online games you want to play, and contact the adminstrator with that information.
Your college has most probably blocked these due to bandwidth (they may have blocked streaming media altogether). Unless your IT guyz are willing to open it up for you (and that's not very likely, unless you're a Prof and can justify it for educational purposes), you're outta luck. You might check wireless access, if you have that capability, in case there is a non-restricted open access point in range. Some of the coffee houses around here have open access ~ coffee and computing ~ what a LOVELY idea! :)
