Re: How to get around a school firewall block?
Info from PS:
PokerStars' software uses one of two ports by default. These ports are 443 and 26002. In addition, the updater software uses port 80. Sometimes either an ISP or a personal firewall will be blocking one of these ports. You may be able to work around this blockage by changing the port that PokerStars' software uses from one to the other. To do this, you will need to change a line in the text file USER.INI. You will find this file in the PokerStars folder which is normally found in the Program Files folder on your primary hard drive (usually the C: drive). Make sure you have closed the PokerStars program. Load USER.INI into Notepad or your favorite text editor (don't use a word processor). If there is not a [Connect] section, add one, followed by the userport line with the port number. Here is how the [Connect] section should look after your modifications: [Connect] userport=443 You may interchange 443 and 26002 above, trying either one. As port 443 does not seem to be working for you, you may wish to change to port 26002 instead. |
