    Yes, absolutely. Could be at a router, could be a content filtering device, could be the firewall, or it could even be blocked at an IPS (intrusion prevention system).

    Talk to the sys admin at the school. If you have a legitimate need, they just might open it up for you. We do that here at work.

    hdtv really is 100% nicer than normal tv, It just isnt the same....

    But I totally prefer to buy rather than download xbox games.



    That's right, Snow. Just say NO to piracy!

    Its possible to block *any* packet at the router level. Its just a matter of what parameters are put on it.
