Eclipse Posted March 9, 2001 Report Posted March 9, 2001 It would seem that this fine institution I attend has suddenly decided that they won't let ICQ be used here. Upon calling them, I learn that they have been having some unspecified problems and decided to discontinue it. This school is on a HTTPS proxy and ICQ has support for connecting through it. Does anyone know any possible way to sidestep whatever they did? Any help would be appreciated.Upadate: Would appear that all they did was tell novel bordermanager to block access to www.icq.com and login.icq.com I don't know if they only blocked the domain name or the IP as well. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet"You can only love or hate something you truly understand"[This message has been edited by Eclipse (edited 03-09-2001).]
Epsilon 5 Posted March 9, 2001 Report Posted March 9, 2001 Ah, damn Novell networks... at school we have mp3 download disabled, and anything that has "game" or "design" (what?) in the adress is unaccessible. Also, no http redirectors, and half the CPU performance with all the stuff installed. Stuck with PII 333mhz 32mb 4gig... At least at home everything is alright.You won't be able to get ICQ working if they banned icq out of the http adresses, but I could be wrong.------------------ Commander Epsilon 5 GCV - StalkerIV, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orionfleet.com 'This Far, No Farther!'
Eclipse Posted March 9, 2001 Author Report Posted March 9, 2001 I can view web.icq.com fine. it seems that they selectively banned part of it.------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet"You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

Badger Posted March 11, 2001 Report Posted March 11, 2001 Yeah that's grim man! I'd be stuffed if that happend to me. I'm getting a lot of Fleet business sorted via ICQ - very handy and informative little tool that, but you know that already... it's a pitty they don't, the idiots! ------------------ Commander Badger GCV - Accentia, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Tsunami Battle Group www.orionfleet.com"Here cometh the storm"[This message has been edited by Badger (edited 03-10-2001).]
