Okay, i'm hooked up the internet through my colleges server. At least thats how I think it works.
Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast don't work over the internet. It stops at awaiting gamestate.
Do you think I won't be able to get planetside to work either? I have the 7-day trial downloaded, but I don't want to activate it until I know it'll work.
Tell me what you think.

it has to do with the firewall they mostlikey have installed. they ports that directplay server games use are blocked. I had the same thing happen when i got my routen and cable internet.
Planetside worked though MW4 stoped, i opend up the ports and poof it was good as new + the cable bandwith
I think PS uses a network thing that goes around firewalls somehow

So does that mean I'm screwed, or just planetside will work.
Knowing of course that the school won't change the firewall settings so that I can play planetside. damn them.
