    How do you pay the accomodation fee by Wednesday if your Mum's credit card has a max credit of €1500?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38 MrSnrub


    What's the internet connection like in the Hall, will I be suffering from massive lag spikes and 3000ms latency?

    Do you have a debit card? You should be able to pay with a debit card.

    In terms of bandwidth and latency, there shouldn't be any issues in Halls. However, practically all games etc won't work right off the bat due to port blocking restrictions and the TCD proxy.

    No, we don't.

    Was wondering about that too. Don't want to be a lagger in online games.:D

    Try calling the Halls, you might be able to get an account number to do a money transfer.

    :eek:. How do you circumvent blocks on games?

    Will I have to fiddle around with ports?

    Depends on the game! What ports/protocol it uses, etc. Find a smart CS type when college/fresher's week starts, they may be able to help point you in the right direction.

    I dont play any of those on PC :P

    I'll need to get someone to show me how to those ports when I get up there. Unless it's just the same as opening ports on a home network, but I doubt it is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭Sparticle


    Speaking of games any avid RTS players here?

    I feel like a bit of a twit, I've never had a games console lol

    You don't open ports. I don't even know what ports are open...You feed everything through one port.
    Or bypass the proxy.
    Really, it's just easier to live without. There's plenty of other things to do.

    LAN works though :-o

    Thats no shame, the only thing I ever had was a Gameboy Advance. I tell you, in my opinion PCs are better for gaming.:D
