Well Ill take your words of advice thanks.

But I am real cool with the admins. Like I go out drinkin with them cool.

But they dont have access to them. and the people in texas have way to much too do to look at ports. It took them 13 days to give us one IP to use. They have over 150 centers to run all with 1000 plus comps. And the only time ill do this is after 5pm when they all have gone home.

I dont have any intention of unblocking ports. I just want to use a way around this issue. such as route all info to a sever somewhere and get all the info back on port 80 or 443. then send it back to the server "proxie" and have them send it out on that port that the app needs. Is there any way of doing this.
