Colleges/Universities Where Steam Does/Does Not Work: Revisited - Page 42

demonzrulaz · 09-04-2012, 12:37 PM

It seems that Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, NJ) blocks steam now. I'm not sure but it seems that way since I can't even login to steam app in my school wireless. It works at home....

Is there anyway to verify this? Or even workaround it? I just want to play TF2!!!

Edit: I have attached a Microsoft Network Monitor Capture file. Please let me know if you can make sense of it, I can't!

mercer university steam works fine... MW3 says the NAT type is strict though i assume that means you cant host a server. also have issues with host transfers in the same game.

Student at Dakota State University here (Madison, SD), Steam and most, if not all, games work fine. The only problem is after connecting the campus connections you must authenticate with something called Cisco NAC Client.

From what I've seen all "gaming" ports are open and the only one that caused frustration for me was port 6667 which is a common IRC port.

letscallitoff · 10-31-2012, 10:53 AM

-1) CSU Dominguez Hills
-2) California
-3) Steam doesn't work, just gives you the option to start in offline mode.
-4) I've only tried from various locations using the wifi and it hasnt worked anywhere. not sure about a wired conenction.

University of Abertay, Scotland

It seems some steam games (all counter strikes and other valve games) uses some sort of P2P for online play. Causes disconnects after a minute or two as the uni blocks all p2p.
