My internet 'coincidentally' went down the same day that my dad emssed around with the cables in my house and my router, they have to analyze the line and come and fix the line (which is on loan from sympatico), which will be another 2 days.

My point?
1. My internet is down and I want to die.
2. Sympatico sucks.

Why is it that so many around here want to die when they loose their ability to connect to the internet?

Consider yourself lucky. I'm living in the dorms and my university blocks battlenet ports, filesharing (which I don't care much about) and runs at only 30k/s on average - yesterday it was running at 3k/s. I've learned to live with it though, I can use it at like 1am and get 500k/s for downloading large files, but I can't play D2 or W3 at all.

You can change the war3 port from the options menu.

Wow that sucks. Here (Dartmouth) they don't block anything, but rather place priority on certain packets coming from certain ports (e.g. kazaa, dc, etc..) for outgoing traffic. What's nice is the students have setup a DC hub and we just share stuff that way, only problem is someone usually has to buy the cd. Download speed is pretty damn quick for most sites too, especially microsoft ( http://swarm.webhostme.com/fastdownload.jpg ).

You seriously live in Dartmouth? Do you know Eibro? :-)

There are multiple Dartmouths, iago. Chances are it isn't the same one.

Eibro · October 10, 2003, 09:35 AM

Judging by his location, Zakath is right, it's not the same one

I'd like to think I live in the better one

That port change only affects the connection when you create games.

Well, war3 connects to b.net on a fixed port and if that is blocked, you can't play on b.net?

Ah, good point. Oh well

Didn't go off topic or anything did it? I still don't have my net back (found out it was my modem that broke, 'coincidentally'(*2) the same day my dad was screwing around with my network.

2 weeks to deliver a modem... next monday.
