ok.. so my problem is this. i'm stuck behind a firewall at university, but i want to play games. they allow you ssh, and i was thinking that i could simply forward the relevant ports using my shell account (not located on the university network) and thus get my frag. so far i havent managed to get it working :/
what i've tried so far is connecting to my account on port 22 and forwarding 27960-5 and listening for connections on the shell. this has gotten me nowhere. im rather new to all this (in fact i only started learning linux so i could play q3 2 days ago :s)
If it's CDU your talking about then they have a very good firewall and I don't think you can do it. I believe they have some pretty smart linux guys working for them who manage their firewall. However don't be disheartened, I'm sure there is someone here who may have some ideas.
