Cause it would require the far end to know what port you're sending from?
I don't know, but those are the two biggest hunches in my mind.
i never know what port is what. Besides, i'm using the free intarwebnet.com access at the hotel I'm saying at. Poolside wifi for the win.why_ask_why said:um, how could it be more locked down than having just port 80 and the aim port open? you wouldn't be here if you didn't have port 80 open
why_ask_why said:I do...as I said, this has nothing to do with ones job, just a general question about the gaming industry
