Hi,
Here is the situation :
I am French and I am actually working some months in the Free University of Bruxelles. When I was in France I didn't have any problems running planeshift (except sometimes with those darn ATI video cards :-) ), even behind a firewall, at work.
But now I am behind a very nasty firewall which simply blocks all ports in both directions except 21,22,23,25,80 , an even blocks ping.
I found a solution to bypass this firewall in order to use my webcam on MSN : make a ssh-tunnelled socks5 proxy which relay connections on localhost:1080 to connections from computers in my french network, and socketsify programs with FreeCap. It worked perfectly for that.
But when I decided to restart playing planeshift (after having stopped for one year :-) ), I noticed that that method didn't work (neither for the client nor for the updater).
Maybe the problem is that the proxy does not relay the ping commands.
But I also tested other games (such as anarchy online, or second life, which didn't tell me they intend ping), and their also do not work.
Is there any suggestion to help me ?
