Running FM '05 over Internet using HTTP Tunnel

LFCFan · 2004-11-17 13:21:28

A friend of mine is having trouble connecting to his mates server to play FM 2005. It's looking like it's a firewall/proxy problem and I was thinking that maybe some HTTP tunneling software would do the trick. Has anyone set this up before to work with this game or something similar?

this chap is living in an apartment that has braodband piped in from a business below them so connect to a LAN to connect to the internet. Unfortunatly the firewall is a problem as he cannot modify it to allow the playing of games.
