Hey guys, new guy here with a question.
I'll be heading off to college in late August, and unfortunately I've discovered that online console gaming isn't supported on my university's network. The idea seems incredibly idiotic, and why a university would discourage something so innocent and innocuous is beyond me. But I digress.
I've been doing some research on potential workarounds, including enabling internet sharing on my Macbook, and directly hooking up my PS3 to said connection, hoping that my Playstation will be recognized as my laptop. I have read a number of other suggestions, and I will continue to research the issue as my move-in date approaches.
Unfortunately, we can't have our own routers in our rooms, so that idea, or anything related to it, is moot.
Was wondering if anyone here has had this issue, and what they've done to resolve it, or if anyone has potential ideas and/or solutions. Obviously I won't know for sure what, if anything, works until I arrive, but I'd like to have a number of plans in place before I get there. Worst comes to worst, I'll talk to IT, express my intense dislike of the policy, and see if I can pull any strings via talking to them.
Again though, any ideas, suggestions, etc are much appreciated.
Thanks.
