I share adsl connection with my "landlord". Some stupid virus has prolly spread through his outlook or something like that so the ISP closed down all ports except port 80, port 443 and port 110.
Now he's on vacation in France for 14 days.
So what do I do? is it possible to tweak nwn to play on any of these ports?
The isp shuts down the other ports until he verifies he has killed all his bugs...

Any suggestions?

1) Try bumming wireless of a neighbor
2) google it
3) try setting the port in nwnplayer.ini to one of the three above, though I doubt it will work (one way to find out!)

Also.... you might want to run some different anti-virus software on your PC. Trend antivirus have a free online AV check for your pc ( uk.trendmicro-europe.com/consumer/housecall/housecall_launch.php ) Most AV picks up most malware but not all of it ..... you might discover that the person with the bug infestation is you!

What I understood from the letter from our ISP is that some malware or virus was spread using email program. Since I use only gmail and hotmail I consider myself safe from that assumption. I also use Avast antivirus and I ran a full scan and also used Adaware and seek & destroy to check again. It's the first time I've seen an isp shut down outgoing email by closing all those ports. (and of course I update my antivirus every day). Gonna check my computer AGAIN tonight.. hehe. Sniffing neighbours wlans makes me a good target for a lawsuit here so that's not an option. Guess I'm in for 2 weeks with single player nwn.. urk.
More suggestions are welcome of course..

A lawsuit?!?!? How?!?!?!?

If they don't want anybody leeching off their connection, they can EASILY do so. I can think of three ways off the top of my head. None of them are very technical either.

So Delthral, did you try the nwnplayer.ini suggestion that Dodrudon made?
