Connecting to ICO on my University(Akron) network

from Sins Forums
My network at college (University of Akron) doesn't want me to connect to ICO.  Everytime I try to log in, it displays a message saying "Disconnected from Ironclad Online" or some such.  I would assume that it's because the Akron network has the ports that ICO goes through blocked.  That said, I'm curious as to what ports Sins uses by default to connect to ICO or how I could find this out, as well as how to change these ports.

Thanks in advance.

ICO uses port 6000, and hosting games requires port 6112 unblocked and forwarded to your IP.

If either of those ports are blocked, am I SOL, or is there a way to go through a different port? I would think that port 6000 is blocked since I can't even log onto ICO while I'm on the college network.

You're SOL until version 1.1 comes out at which point people will be able to run SINS with "encapsulated netcode" (if they so choose) which will alleviate these sorts of problems.

Allrightythen. In that case, I'll just pass my time playing against the computer and by hopping on Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy when I need an online fix. Thanks loads for the info.
