mind you....our school does not have a firewall, so i find it kinda hard to blv they are blockin ports
... became ...
naw they arent blocking ports..... i know this for a fact
I find it hard to believe that a school with thousands of whatevers worth of computer equipment and chock full of curious students would risk not having a firewall. My suggestion is that they do have one and have decided to keep quiet about it because they don't want the students accessing chat rooms with their network. This scenario isn't exactly unusual.
