ReadMe Absent Send PM Posts: 2820 Threads: 85 Money: £43.42 (D) (+ Friend)	Not a joke unfortunately, having just re-installed W:A, i need some help getting connected to wormnet. The problem is this: my university have decided that blocking outgoing connections on port 6667 is a good idea, its a msytery as to why - but i greatly doubt there's anything i can do to get them to change this. So, with this in mind, anyone got any ideas how i might be able to connect to wormnet and get some W:A going on?

If you want to be able to host a game you will have to redirect incoming packets on the TCP ports to your machine. Yes, i knew that - but there is no way for me to create an outgoing connection on port 6667 from this computer, hence me turning to the brain trust thats is BTP.

Could probably alter it to connect to localhost instead of wormnet and tunnel out. hosts file might help with that.. as it's a single server is there a box or something you can set up an ssh tunnel to?

Also, I don't think you can filter it... it would be better if you could tunnel port 6667 but not 17011. 17010 and 17012 are a lie. Except, the latest update lets people host on any port.
