Well, as I have been named I suppose I ought to respond?

I must admit to knowing very little about WOW, but I think that this problem is related to all popular online games, rather than a specific one? Symantec will be using a whitelist/blacklist, and detects WOW as an online game so it blocks it.

As you have spoken to your admin, I suppose that there is no objection to this sort of activity outside of class times?

The problem is that most of these security suites see things purely as black and white, so they just allow or block sites all of the time.

Now, the admin could add WOW to the whitelist, but if anyone gets caught playing it during class time he/she is out of a job. Do you trust your fellow students?............. because I don't

The solution would be to use your preferred search engine (Google?) and look for "public proxy servers". The idea is that you use the proxy to connect to the game.

Please ask your admin before you do this.

I will warn you that these proxies are generally not that fast, so you will probably have to search around for one that works reasonably for you.

Once again make sure that you ask first.
