UDP for net games behind a firewall I have no control of.

UDP for net games behind a firewall I have no control of.

I want to ba able to run net games which require UDP packets.  I'm behind a
firewall that I have no control of.  It blocks almost everything and I
can't even connect to IRC (I get disconnected every time I try to connect).
 This also aplies to Windows (obviously) and I'd like to be able to play
starcraft on battle.net under either windows or wine (I don't really care).
 I'm rather new to Linux and I like playing Quake and Q3Atest, preferably
over the net.  By the way is there a way to get unreal working under wine
(I have 990815), I also tried it on 990731 and 990704 and I still couldn't
get it to work.

First question: probably not. You'll have to talk to the sysadmin. You may be
able to get them to unblock the port you need. Maybe you could try using a
different port; Quake et. al will let you use any port, but I don't know about
StartCraft, particularly if you need to use battle.net.

Second question: not a chance. It's amazing enough to get Windows programs to
work under Windows. What wine attempts is to intercept Windows calls and
translate them into X/Unix calls. Sounds simple, but it's pretty complicated,
and wine is dodgy at best. Programs that do run, work at about a tenth normal
speed, and fall over in a stiff breeze. That said, hats off to the development
team, even that's a huge achievement!
