Originally by: Lemy Caution For example when you are using a web browser, you are connecting by port 80 - when using a 'secure' web site, port 443, or ftp 23.
heh, actually port 23 is telnet and FTP is port 21. Also SSH is 22. In regards to this alternative port, I really don't see the need for it. The people complaining about not being able to access eve are probably either...
A) At work, which means they shouldn't be on eve anyways as that is not what they are being paid to do.
or
B) At some kind of public internet place which do not want you using their bandwidth for gaming purposes (library / university / wifi networks etc). If you are on campus and wanna play eve, then get an internet account from the local ISP for your dorm room. The blocks are there for a reason.
If by some chance a residential isp is actually blocking this from your connection at home, then contact them to find out why. If they don't have an answer about if it is blocked, then ask to have them escalate a ticket to verify if port 2600 is blocked / filtered.
In the meantime for an alternative port you can always use port 6667 provided your irc network isn't on the same system as eve. :)
The reason 26000 port gets blocked (for me) is because of my ISP Tiscali blocking that port.
They define internet games as "unreasonable use" as their service is for "internet browsing only". So they stop people playing them.
I know what your going to say - change provider 
Tiscali said yesterday............ "This hasn't died a death yet. The team that I am dealing with are still addressing this, and although this is a priority to you gamers, it doesn't affect the other million plus customer we have. This issue is going forward, and will I'm sure be resolved in due course, it just happens that their due course is not the same as the gamers. I know this will upset everybody, but at least we're not ignoring this. It is indeed good to know that Eve are trying other ports, can you let us know how that goes please. __________________ Regards

They have said before , and so have many other ISP's that they do not block ports for Eve. Are you using p2p software at the same time as Eve ?
