Blocked ICMP
« on: September 29, 2006, 02:33:12 am »
It seems to me that the client pings the laanx.fragnetics.com server to see if it's available.  Is this true?
My silly school firewall blocks ICMP protocol so I can't ping anything and no one can ping me... but I can get online just fine with any program or game as long as it doesn't need to ping.

If anyone can help that would be great. :thumbup:  For now I'm trying to get a VPN server set up at home so I can connect to it and bypass this firewall.

Oh, if there is a way to make the client connect without actually pinging laanx.fragnetics.com that would be great.  Maybe trick it somehow.

Thanks

yeah build a new client from source. but then the connection may not be relaiable.

AFAIK we don't use ICMP pings. It is a normal UDP message like any other messages that the client and server send out.
