quote: p2p and bittorrent i'll agree on, even though they do have their legal purposes at times. But blocking high ports for online games sucks ass. Though if you can round up enough local geeks in the dorms you can just play a large LAN game :thumbs: Same goes for file sharing, if you scan your local subnet when you get there for open windows shares, you should find some interesting results :cool: | |

quote: the usual case is that you have a slight restriction on ports 80/21/email (http and ftp) and they either block or restrict other ports...so you will find that you can only get 10k max on P2P software etc :( | |

Oh also you can try writing a list of all the software you need first, files and what have you. THEN burning it to CD. | |

i believe you can network via USB :thumbs: However, you need a converter usb cable, which is about 40 odd quid :( | |

u'd be better off going buying another network card for the second machine and a rj45 crossover cable - should cost £10 - £15 quid at most - plus you can use it when both machine's are sorted:thumbs: | |

I've just got another PC (which I've built), but all parts except for the screen turned up, so I'm manually swapping the cables back and forth between the 2 pcs... |
