You would have to get the college administrators to forward the port that Halo uses to the IP of your machine, they may do it if you ask nicely although obviously if its college's machine and your not supposed to play games on it your in a bit of a pickle...!

BTW port 80 is the http port.

He needs to hide it by having it come across on port 80 because the normal port it runs on is blocked by the firewall.

yeah if i can get it to recognize a proxy through port 80 i would be all set, but finding a proxy server that is free and can handle a t3 is hard to come by. lol and i've asked the schools administrators and no i'm not supposed to be doing this but i know other poeple on the campus are doing it, and i've heard that they use port 80 somehow but i'm not sure how they get it through
