Blocked ports on my network

[peachfuzzo]

My ports on my network in college are block to restrict access to FTP's and Napster like clients. This also means IRC. I can't even get on and chat with my friends on the IRC! This is bs! does anyone know how I can get by these port blocks?

Yes, if you dislike your internet access you have, you can always choose to pay for a 'better' access. The College has made their decisions, yours are up to you. The one thing you can't give for your heart's desire is your heart. - Lois McMaster Bujold
