Proxy Server is usually set up only for Port 80 or 8080, which is the "internet" port for the http socket. That means you can only access sites, that build there connection through port 80. If the internet is limited to connection via proxy, you have no other choice.
You could play on partypoker though, they have a browser/java-based software too.

btw: AIM uses port 80.

PartyPoker not working either, same deal.

For Stars, you may be able to connect by going and running pokerstars.exe from c:\program files\pokerstars\pokerstars.exe. This will bypass the update and launch your connection directly.

Correct. I'm on Internet Explorer right now and surfing the web no problem. Also, Skype works.

Change the time on your computer.

Re: $200 to the first person to fix my Internet Connection problem
 

If you can use a browser then you could use Absolute Poker's browser client:

. . . however given recent events I can see why you wouldn't be keen to do this ;-)

Mabye some more trustworthy sites have something equivalent.

try calling the front desk?

Re: $200 to the first person to fix my Internet Connection problem
 

Is there an in-hotel IT person? If so, I believe Stars communicates through port 443 and port 26002. (one for updates, one for application). Could you request that those be opened?

(at least this is what was written in another forum where someone was having connection probs- i just cut/pasted and am not sure what this means).
