    Hey Folks,

    I'm trying to play WC3 online and am having some problems. The wireless router for my house is controlled by a landlord. In their infinite wisdom, they have disallowed all non-browser traffic. Is there any way to bi-pass this and let me use the connection for warcraft? At most wc3 uses 15mb/hr and i can easily download more than that.

    Any ideas?

    No, you cannot by bypass it remotely. You will have to ask your landlord to open the TCP ports for WC3.

    Discussion of bypassing any form of security is against forum rules. Please do not bring this up again.

    Thank you
