Hi everybody. I used to be able to play UT from school over the t1 until some lamer got cought running a mp3 server in the computer lab. Now they've blocked all the ports(no irc, not UT...)
Anyways I found a way around it. For me to connect to a server it has to be on port 80. I tested it with a friend the other day and it worked!!!
To setup a server to run on port 80 you have to change the port in your sever.ini(unrealtournament.ini) from 7777 to 80. And then you have to do the same in your default.ini file. And there you go, anybody behind a firewall can connect.
Also for irc I use http://www.caffeine-powered.com
So if anybody could be kind enough to change their UT server port 80 it would be much apreciated. And those of you stuck behind firewalls, have fun gaming.

BTW if you set your serve to port 80, please post the ip here so we can connect and try it out - Thanks
