Tunneling through proxies and firewallsFollow

Quick question. Anyone ever connected to Everquest or any other MMORPG from work or school? If so... How did you do it? I'm perplexed at how many different forums i've read online about people getting through proxies and firewalls to play EQ. I've even tried doing it myself with no success.

It depends more on the limits the school network has more than anything else.

Proxies from a website or program can bypass many things. But I worked for a school network for awhile, and the Admin was a smart guy, he went through the firewall settings meticulously and closed every port that was not needed. I remember while working on it 20 people called to asked why their MSN messenger didn't work... "Oops, guess I will open that port again."
