Can't Play online

[covana]

All my games won't let me play online anymore.
I can connect to the game but every game shows a disconnection icon in the corner during game play and won't let me play.
This never happened before, what is happing?
I am connected to the net through the network at my college.

Maybe the college network updated their firewall or something... Can you ask a specialist at your college?

[covana]

That is what I am guess happened. Is there anyway to bypass this?

You could set the game to use an open proxy on the internet but it would be horribly slow, and probably unplayable.

I dont see any huge sig


Anyway, can you ping or traceroute any of the gaming servers youre trying to connect to? If not, youre school may have locked you out...or, if you have a router in your room, it may not be set up correctly and is blocking needed ports.
