Calling all computer geeks...

[Eggy]

If you know nothing about computing, please ignore this post as it is a little off topic...

Basically, I am at university at the moment in my house on campus. Now, being a gay system, they give us a phone, and a network connection. The network connection in this house is disbaled at the moment, still being wired up, and I have to access the internet via a 1p/min service - you can't use 0800 numbers...I know. I can also dial up a free internal number to access websites and email within my uni's domain.

I have managed to obtain some apparently legal software called a "Tunneler". This means if I connect through the uni freephone ISP and activate tunneler it reroutes the data (or something, I'm no expert) so that I can access the internet for free, and MSN seems to work too. Peachy.

The problem I'm having is I have no idea how to set it up to access camelot/mIRC or any other services on different protocols.

I can add forwarding addresses to the software...for example at the moment it has...

Listen interface: 127.0.0.1
Port: 8080
Destination host: wwwcache.uniname.ac.uk
Port 8080

I can add as many of these as I want. I can also do server-client forwarding if that makes any sense.

Anyone any ideas on how to access other services like camelot? Something to do with proxy servers or something I don't fully understand I'm sure.

Thanks in advance!

DAoC probly goes out on a special port number.... im not sure...

but if it is that then u will hav to find out the port number it uses and allow the tunneler to forward the port to u comp... basicly the software is acting like a router... it is fining 2 comps urs and the server that the uni uses... ull need to asign the port fowarding to ur program...

if u need any more help i advise u to pm me and ill give you further details

cheers

Thanks for quick reply, can u add me to msn so we can chat - dodgystain@hotmail.com

RightNow? What's that

Thanks x

Cant remember offhand the port numbers but goa or mysic have a doc in rightnow somewhere on playing daoc through a firewall. (do rightnow search for 'firewall').

This lists the UTp and TCP ports you will need to forward.

 

[core_]

ask someone what the ip and port are for the server.. shouldnt be too hard.

Well, I know what port the DAOC update server uses, and have tried everything I can with the program, but no luck.

If anyone wants a go, pls add me to msn : dodgystain@hotmail.com

I'll let you use the help system to access the program on my computer and have a go yourself.

Many thanks
