have installed quake but cannot connect to anyservers.

what is it that is being blocked? I work in IT so might be able to get around the problem.

thank you.

All ports other then HTTP/ICQ/IRC etc are blocked? And since QW uses port 2750x...

run a qizmo at home on port 80, connect to that then connect to servers via ,connect

wish some1 had of told me that years ago oldman! was looking for an answer to this problem before, all i was told was try and connect through udp on qizmo i think it was but that didnt work

nah you don't need a UDP port to be open, that's just the default, you can use tcpconnect to connect via TCP between two qizmos

if your work is filtering all HTTP access through an http proxy though and you have no direct connections to the outside world then you're stuffed :-)

ah yeah it was tcp i was on about not udp where im working now is all behind a proxy run by a a company northgate they have classroom2000 filter on the web as well zzZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I dont have any net at home right now...

get someone to run a public qizmo (accepting tcp) on that port for you then

Dybbuk Gehenna Qizmo should allow TCP if im not mistaken (same port as UDP).. but then again... ping may suck for you. Theres already HHTP running on port 80. I probably could switch to port 8080 for the Qizmo if that helps. However.. maybe TCP on port 27500 is ok?

whats the IP?

Also, how do I connect to these qizmos? is it just connect "ip:port" ?
I have tried the above and still cannot connect!!

qw.mzielinski.com:80


131.211.155.88:80

Actually I have never done this myself. But i would assume you have to connect to your local qizmo normally and then .tcpconnect qw.dybbuk.de. To test if your firewall allows this you might also try to telnet qw.dybbuk.de on port 27500. If you are in luck there should be some kind of connection.
