Hey all, Im here at school, its fun and im enjoying myself and classes arnt too difficult, but I do spend IMO alot of time working. SO with that said I am trying to get back into SWG, so I can play a little bit after dinner and on weekend days. However, the school's proxy and or firewall blocks the Launchpad so I need to go talk with the Admin, thats what I have to do but I want to know what yall think.

I know not every port is blocked becuase I can play WC3 and DAoC, but not HL, BF1942, SWG, RtCW or anything else ive tried. Should I be asking my Admin to open up all the ports?

Please answer like im an idiot becuase I would like to know everything so when I go talk with the Admin so he knows what I want :)

Thanks in advance for your help.

I opened 19 ports on my firewall, unfortunately, I don't remember the specific numbers. When I get home (at work now) I will check and post. I use Symantec's Norton Firewall. I got the other big one (Mcafee sp?) on my laptop and it is shite.

Tech Support Firewall Proxy

Sony Online Entertainment does not support the use of firewalls and proxies, including cable/DSL NAT routers, campus and office networks, or any type of Internet connection sharing services. However, in an effort to assist you in configuring your systems on your own, we would like to provide the following information which may help you in setting up your firewall software to work with Star Wars Galaxies™: An Empire Divided™.

Star Wars Galaxies Launchpad and Patch Servers
A TCP connection is initiated from the LaunchPad client port > 1023 to patch.station.sony.com port 7000.

A UDP connection is initiated from the LaunchPad client port > 1023 to sdlaunchpad1.station.sony.com and sdlaunchpad2.station.sony.com port range 3016-3021 and 9700-9703.

Star Wars Galaxies Patch:

A TCP connection is initiated from the Star Wars Galaxies client port > 1023 to patch.starwarsgalaxies.com port 7070.

Star Wars Galaxies Client
UDP connections are initiated from the Star Wars Galaxies client port >1023 to servers on UDP ports 44453, 44462, 44463.

Additionally, ICMP messages type 0 (echo reply), 3 (unreachable), 8 (echo request) and 11 (expired) should be permitted bi-directionally between the client PC and the Star Wars Galaxies servers.

Star Wars Galaxies Servers Subnets

There are multiple IP addresses for the Patch and LaunchPad clusters, and they may change as the network demands, so check often using a DNS lookup tool if you provide a specific firewall rule for these services. The Star Wars Galaxies server IP addresses are currently in these subnets: 199.108.6.*, 199.108.7.*, 199.108.8.*, 199.108.196.*, 199.108.197.*, 199.108.198.*

Software Firewall and Proxy Information
The following information may assist you in setting up your firewall software if you are having connectivity problems with Star Wars Galaxies. It is recommended that you follow these steps only if you are having difficulty connecting to the servers or are experiencing random disconnections in Star Wars Galaxies. Basic walkthroughs are provided for the following programs:
