At my college network... for some reason I can't get on PlayMyth after 7pm Central time. I wasn't able to get on AIM after 7pm either until I changed the port it used. Is there a way I can change the port Myth uses to get on PlayMyth so I can play at nights when I'm on campus?

Good idea Doobie.... Does anybody know at least what port Myth 2 uses for PlayMyth? Or a way I can find out which port Myth2 uses on my PC?

My guess is that Myth chooses a random, high-numbered port for its outgoing packets like most other programs, but I'm not sure.

I'm pretty sure bungie.net used to use port 3453

Did anyone have problems with the Myth server last night? A game I was in crashed, taking every player in that game to the desktop or lobby 5 straight times! Is the new server going through maintenance, or is it just a bug/lag?

how many players were in that game Kru? The Wolf mentioned a similar crashing bug, but he said he thought it was due to the 16 players in the room....similar error for you? It could very well be a bug :/ Likely server side though.

Correct OtA, Myth uses 3453 to recieve incoming packets when hosting a multiplayer game. But I was under the impression that Pyro was unable to even connect to the playmyth.net meta server. That seems to indicate to me that the admins who manage his network have locked down not only the incoming ports, but outgoing as well.
