Hey all,
I am at university atm and having to use their network for internet usage. However, it is very restrcitive and I have found out one game works accross it without tunnelling - World of warcraft. I downloaded the trial and gave it a go and it did work.
Saying this, Eve Online does not, it cannot even contact the server to see how many people are online. I can get it to work through a Tunneling program (http tunnel) but the results are un-stable, with constant disconnections.
What I am asking, is if it is possible to find out what ports WoW uses, and make Eve use them? I want to play at least ONE mmo while I am here, and WoW is not something i want to get involved with, I would much prefer Eve.
Also, is there more to blocking a connection besides ports? I know the problem is not with my computer since I have played Eve online at home with no problems.
Thanks for your time, and any assitance would be great.

Eve needs to be able to connect to 87.237.38.200 port 26000 via tcp
maybe the admin allowed outbound connections to the wow port/servers and could do the same for Eve?
this bat file might help if you are required to use a proxy for websurfing  Quote:
@echo off
rem edit the line below "set http_proxy=http://someserver:someport/"
set http_proxy=http://someserver:someport/
eve.exe
it might work as well if you create a ssh tunnel to an pc outside of the firewall or less secured pc (some student test servers might be able to connect more freely) (tell ssh client to listen on local port 26000 and forward it via tunnel to 87.237.38.200:26000 and connect the eve client to 127.0.0.1)

google: "eve online proxy ssh tunnel"
http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=426676
you may find a program like "proxycap" interesting as well

can't you just change the port number in prefs.ini to match the one that WoW uses?
or am I mistaken?

Tried changing the port in pref.ini and I just get "could not connect to the specfied address etc."
I have tried looking up SSH tunnels and they seem to require an outside PC which you can use to install programs on etc. I do not have that.
That Bat file didn't have any effect, I think i set it up correctly.

changing the port won't help as tq is only listening on port 26000
the bat file allows you to use the igb when you are forced to use a proxy to access the web (new page or other sites in the igb)
you don't need to install anything on the machine you are connecting to via ssh (try some student servers on your campus where you might have access) telnet 87.237.38.200 26000 should show you if that pc is able to reach tq
so you can try to find a pc to ssh tunnel, get a pc (vserver) outside to ssh into or talk to your network admin
last option would be to get ccp to change tq so it listens to port 80 as well

I would definitally take the suggestion made by the other pilots in this thread and use some sort of SSH Proxy.
There are free solutions available using a linux platform or OpenSSH over CYGWIN, but I use a pair of windows native applications for this purpose.
1. Bitvise's WinSSHD server works really well, and is $39 for personal use. Install this on your home machine. You can then use puTTY or Tunnelier to connect to it, either is free. I suggest the latter since it plugs in with WinSSHD nicely.
2. Next, you'll need ProxyCap to send your EVE Client over your SSH connection. I believe this is about $15 to purchace.
This is the setup I use when on the road and it works wonderfully. And on top of it, you can port multiple applications such as your web browser, AIM, or whatever else uses the net overtop of this. You're limited by the upload speed of your server, but you never worry about anyone blocking your traffic.
If you do go this route, consider getting a domain name for your home PC. You can grab one for a few bucks a year, and if you're going through DynDNS, you can install a client that will automatically update the DNS servers with whatever your home PC's IP happens to change to. Saves alot of hassle trying to figure out what the new IP is when your ISP changes the address lease.

Firstly, I don't think it is possible for me to find a student comp that is un-restricted and on 24 hours a day. I am on a healthcare campus and all the computer study students (along with their servers and specilized equipment) are on another campus, and another network.
Regat Kozovv, I have already mentioned that I do not have an additonal PC which I can connect to, the one I am using is the only one I have.
However, is there a server that is publically avilable that I can use? Or can I only SSH tunnel to computers on the same network as me?
I am very unfamiliar with SSH tunnels and not 100% how to set one up. Some people say you need a program running on the server to support it, others say you just need a program running on the home computer.

Tuloa, I don't know about any public servers off hand, and those I've looked into before are slow. I'd suggest Tor, but they're really not equipted to handle that sorta thing (not to mention their focus is on more pressing issues.)
I misunderstood you and thought that you had a PC still at home, not on university.
But to anwser your question, the SSH server would reside on some PC that's outside of the firewall that's blocking you. It could be anywhere, really.
