Hello,
just got my new internet connection at the place where I live for studying at university.
But somehow I am not able to connect to HL, I get a timeout. There is no firewall or anit-virus program blocking. I don't know what is causing this problem. I would be very grateful if some admin could help me out here.
Cheers
Leo

Im sure now that this problem is caused by the network here. I think most of the ports are blocked because of security reasons.

Most universities have restricted access and allow traffic on port 80 & 8080 only.
Hyperlobby needs connection into the Internet by TCP port 1698, and for latency calculation between clients uses an ICMP echo reply protocol.

And this mean HL supported games will not work for you too since they using various UDP/TCP services.

Many thanks for your reply, guys.
I will contact the university admin tomorrow. If we cant get to a solution I will have to get myself a private internet conection. At the moment I cant even join a TS-server.
