More ClearWire shennanigans??!!

sisyphus

Have ClearWire started blocking non-standard ftp ports yet again? I just tried to connect now to an external server on port 5505, and I'm getting connection refused. I tried the same server from 2 remote unix boxes, and can access it fine.
I also tried another server running on port 3306, and am getting the exact same thing. Has anyone else noticed the same issue? I could access these servers as normal 2 nights ago. This is not the first time ClearWire have gone and screwed around with this stuff without any advance warning, and last time, it took them over 2 weeks to rectify!!

A very disgruntled ClearWire customer....

Ive been away since monday and i cant log into wow either.

Looks like they are back to blocking ports again. Time to send back the modem i think

i cant see, in any way, how blocking a port used in WoW could seriously increase their network speeds. if they have blocked WoW, then i will not be a happy camper...

also find it weird that i can't log on to the main wow europe forums...

BTW killith, as poor as it may sound, its possible to run WoW through http-tunnel.

Here is the documentation...

@Shougeki:
Why should you have to use http-tunnel for a standard connection like that?! Although it's a decent workaround, it's not something each user should have to do if they want to play a few simple online games.
