Wireless internet = no poker?
 
Does anyone know if university-supplied wireless internet is capable of blocking online poker servers?

I am able to log in to the site, and even view who's actively playing on the tables, but when I join a game I'm consistently getting error messages saying that I have an internet connection, but am unable to access the server.

wtf?

On campus?

Actually, what's weird is that I was able to play on Monday but every day since then I haven't been able to connect.

Now I'm paranoid that they discovered me playing and somehow are blocking out the site [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

too much pot??

I've never been blocked and I go to a religous college and their anal about most things...

My college has wireless access in the student union, and poker sites are not accessible. Not because it's gambling, but because the connection is not secure and it's a security risk.
