    I just moved into student accommodation for the summer and forgot that they block people from playing xbox or pc games..Since the place is empty for the summer im getting a decent speed of around 5mb. Is there any way to get around this.

    Im already regretting moving out if i cant play my games online..

    Can you talk to someone in the college IT dept? I'd post this in Nets & Comms.

    I know in DCU you can just contact the computer services guys to get them to open the ports you need.

    You can do things like port forwarding but this is going to be slow and unusable for gaming. I used to use it to connect to steam and get updates back in the day.

    Best bet, as pointed out already, is to contact your network admin with the list of ports you need open.
