He had to go to his g/f's and use the parents internet. ;P It has something to do with the port settings that the school used he said. Might be the same issue but its hard to say.

Further on what tgm said, a lot of schools block ports for games and p2p software these days. You have no way around that except to go to someone else's place to play. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 08-22-2005, 02:52 PM | #4 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 127 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 1,635 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,635 Donate | Re: Laptops, school, FFXI, requirements... @_@ well the CPU and the RAM are fine...just the Graphic card is lacking pretty bad...I think its able to run it, just not very well... | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 08-22-2005, 07:30 PM | #5 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Posts: 55 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 364 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 364 Donate | Re: Laptops, school, FFXI, requirements... @_@ Thanks for the replys... guess I'm gonna have to get upgraded ; ;  I may l'eggo your Eggo, but I'll be damned if I rolf your waffle... | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 08-22-2005, 07:38 PM | #6 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: USA: Texas Posts: 223 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post Gil: 1,027 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,027 Donate | Re: Laptops, school, FFXI, requirements... @_@ Before you upgrade call the university and ask them if they block any game-ports on there side, Ask then if they block any type of games. If not then upgrade and play. Most likley they do so you wont be able to play.

But, I don't use it >.>.
Also, I don't see how college campuses are so retarted (look in the main forum to see what i'm talking about). It's really annoying now a days that people are trying to block things like BT, and P2P programs, but when they do that, the SEVERLY limit what we can do.
Also, people will still get music (OurTunes), ect ect.  -Baka Inu!
