Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
You need to chat with the IT staff of wherever you happen to be, explain the situation, and get one of two things:
1) The number of a port that is open for use (prefferably more than one; it's possible my ISP is blocking a few, it's virtually certain my firewall is blocking a few; with multiple options, we can arrange for one that works)
2) Port 6774 opened for use for the session.
"Port" is a technical term; it's used in routing data packets to programs from a network, and also in firewall filtering - some ports, such as 31337, are pretty much always blocked. In places where security is tight, all but selected ports are blocked, for the applications the IT staff decides are either reasonably safe or a necessary risk.
