Ports...again

[Power Metal Dom]

I can't play at http://www.runescape.com/.

A screen comes up telling me...

Error 105 - Unable to connect to game server.
Runescape was unable to connect to the game server. This is most likely caused by a firewall blocking the connection. To resolve this:

# If you have firewall or security software installed please ensure RuneScape/Java is allowed to open outgoing network connections on ports 43594 and port 43595.

# Note windows-XP service pack 2 has built in firewall software. If when loading RuneScape this asks if you want to allow the connection, you need to say 'yes'.

# If that doesn't help then an external firewall may be causing the problem. Please ask your network adminstrator/ISP to open ports 43594 and 43595 for TCP traffic.


I tried freeing up those ports and turning off my firewall but it didn't work. What else can I do if anything?

Are there ANY MMORPGs that will work on the network?

I can't help you with any of those problems, but I think Guild Wars works...though I would need to boot in Windows to check (and find someone else with the game, I'm guessing) and I can't be arsed.

There is a way of making the downloadable .exe Runescape client work. But I won't tell you here.

I have guild wars. It works for me in any case.

Always pass port to the left.

Set your goals way too high so I can laugh when you fail.

how do i tell my administrator to open the port?

You can request a port is opened here:

Unless you have a very good reason for a port to be opened though, it's probably not going to happen.
