I am trying to acces a Massively Multiplayer Online Rpg which I play, Tibia, at my school. I do not know what kind of connection the school runs on, but it is networked on many computers, obviously.

I believe the problem is that something is blocking acces to the port 7171, which is required to access the game.

All that the homepage says is required is --

For the Windows Version you need:
Windows 95/98/ME/XP/2000
DirectX version 5.0 or later
15 MB free space on your hard disk
A connection to the internet via Windows Sockets






Now, we are allowed to download anything to the C drive, we run on Windows XP, and I dl'ed DirectX 9. So, I guess the problem is my internet connection.


Does anyone know how/if I can/could unblock the access to that 7171 port?

Any suggestions? Im willing to try anything.

Normally u would have to contact the IT dpeartment and ask them to open that port for in/out traffic as someone else already anwered in the other thread.

What i wonder is whether the game uses only that specific port ?

I am having the same excat problem. I also play tibia and would like to get on during school. My school has a Proxy Server and ive tried to play many different games. Im guessing my school is blocking the port 7171, If theres any way at all (ANY WAY) someone please leave a msg.

Best to ask your school admin or IT guy.

Probably better to study


Please don't hate me
