Remotely Anywhere & Novell BorderManager

Hey guys, I'm running Remotely Anywhere on my home network and have no problems accessing it from other networks/locations - except from my college.
They use Novell BorderManager to block this and that but since Remotely Anywhere is operating through a secure connection (https) on port 80 I see no reasons why it shouldn't be working (we have access to the Internet and https connections)
I get this error : HTTP Error Status : 503 S
Now obviously the college must be blocking something - but what?
Any suggestions?

Regards,
Digital Death.

well not up to speed on remotely anywhere, but the college is prob blocking the ports required to access. You might be able to make outgoing connections to port 80 but not in the incoming direction. Also your connections could be going through a proxy which would block any return connections.

Can you connect OK with SSH?

Remotely Anywhere works just like you're visiting any web page (client/server model) so there's no incoming connection (loopback) as obviously you'd have to have a service running on that port to connect to - everything is outgoing (obviously except the traffick coming back through the TCP/IP connection).
I have tried this on multiple ports but still no luck - the college should have port 80 open and at the moment that's what I'm running it on!

SSH connections are possible...are you suggesting a tunnell of some sort? If so, how would I implement one?

ah right. sorry, no idea of the setup there. Did u ask network admins?

Let's just say they're not so friendly here - heck I don't even see the admins!

I cannot help with this issue dd...
Forget about even thinking asking TSU

( Try getting help from R.A. support. http://www.remotelyanywhere.com/template.asp?page=demos#popup )

Support request has been sent to RA support - doubt they'll do anything though seeing as it's a college/BorderManager prob!

Why won't TSU do anything? Do you know something I don't?
