[BillyBishop]

Hi Whats up everyone?, this is actually my first time using the forums :P . K let me get to the point, At school I am unable to play continuum, the zones are in the list but it says im not connected to the internet, i heard I can use a proxy or something, Can someone explain what I can do ? Thanks Alot

Your school's Fire wall is blocking it. You can set up a proxy server outside of the fire wall (at a home computer ect...) There's probably some free ones out on the net try www.download.com for one, then setup Continuum to use that proxy in view, proxy options put the host IP and port.......

Edit:No your school will not disable their fire wall as Thors suggested, doing so would leave their network vulnerable.

Tell your school to diable firewall

Guys,
You have two options, hack the school router or payoff the guy who has access to it.

The school router is configured to block port traffic other than what the school feels is appropriate, which usually includes games, chat rooms and such. Even if you hacked your way in and changed the configuration to allow the router to pass all ports to the PC you are using, any good admin is going to see the traffic and figure out what you did.

It is possible, if you wanted to make a career of it, to be a good enough hack to cover your tracks. To do this, go to alt.binaries.ebooks.technical and read every book you can find about Cisco routers and router BIOS. After this you will be able to then play SS from inside the school.
Of course, you will probably not be in school anymore since you will be 25 y.o and/or in jail.

A proxy is the only viable option, but then again, Continuum seems to have a major bug with proxies. Every time I set one up in Continuum, it totally locks the game up and it won't even restart again until I remove a certain key from the registry.
