How to change proxy setting on mmorpgs/online games

[fortunefish]

Hey wondered if I could pick your brains,

Im at a schoo, they use a proxy server to acess the net, if figured how to configure Firefox/msn, all the important things. Just wondering how i can play DAoC and WC3 in school at weekends.

Regards

John

pm me for msn

If you set up WSP client that should do it i would imagine.

Google for how-to guides on this as im too lazy to explain

Thanks for the help, seems to have been discontinued*

are there any other applications that allow this?

Maybe talk to the IT staff ?

Trying to install stuff to break security put onto a network is a bad thing.

Ok tears,

Might give it a miss then, don't want to screw anything up, I take it that it isnt as easy as configuring msn or firefox.

thanks for your help

Most school/uni/company proxies are HTTP only, so you won't be able to play DAOC through it.

The only way around would be HTTP-tunneling which basically involves encoding packets as HTTP, routing them through the proxy on to another computer which decodes them and sends them on to their destination, this is generally not allowed for obvious reasons, and you would probably get banned from the network if the admin realised.

have a few ppl at uni who sweet talked their IT dept into opening access for them to play games


never any harm in asking tbh
