Does anyone know how to change the port which PJ64K connects to the servers through? My PJ64K finds the servers but won't connect to them due to the fact that the uni blocks anything and everything for stuff like downloading, torrents, online gaming etc. Last night I discovered port 5001 is open and heard that a bunch of folk were now able to play WoW in halls of residences and gathered this could work for me too?? But I know sod all about that kinda thing so don't wanna go changing everything around incase my laptop blows up or sumin. Can anyone help? Cheers

I have the same problem at my university.. I can't find any options on Project64k for connections options, though. For other games, I've been using a service called Http-Tunnel which allows you to connect to the net through a proxy server (it gets around bandwidth limitations and such), but once again I can find no ways to get Project64K to connect through a proxy. I'll be keeping tabs on this thread in case anyone comes up with anything..

SSH and set up UDP forwarding on a remote machine. Then set up a local socks5 proxy, using a socksifying program, to connect the SSH connection to PJ64k/Bit Torrent Client/P2P app.

Use google if you don't understand.
