HACK MY Work!!

[Sinister]

I need a way to install tribes at work, but i cant install because i dont have network priveledges.  If anyone knows how i could bypass it, let me know.

[WolfTones]

can you upload it to yourself thought an FTP? What about putting the whole tribes folder onto a cd, and coping it though DOS.

[FloPPy_PiLLoW]

Yep that sounds like it'll work

[Sinister]

I cant get a Dos prompt.  They've disabled it I guess.

The easiest way to get around it is to bypass explorer all together (because that is most likely where the processes that block network privs are running).

Go to start menu, and then to run, and then type in "command" and hit enter.

With that window open, press ctrl+alt+delete and endtask "Explorer.exe" or it might not have the .exe

From there, you can do whatever you want with that dos window you have open--don't get fired though O_O

[Sinister]

"command" worked.  Thanks.  I will try and get some tribes action going.

[Sinister]

Omfg, it works.....tribes is now installed. SWEET ! ! !

[UnderGod]

Good... Now start looking for another job.

[Sinister]

LOL, yeah whatever.

Now i cant ping any servers....i wonder why that is
also, every time i click on "Options", Tribes shuts down.  It kinda blinks like there is a video card problem, then boom . . . desktop.

Did you do a clean install of tribes or did you just copy your tribes folder to it?  If you copied your tribes folder, you need to go into console.cs (I think thats what it is) in your main tribes folder, and scroll to the bottom of the file, and change your video setting from "OpenGL" or "Glide" to "Software".  Since it's a computer at work, I doubt it has a graphics card or the latest OpenGL software.

As for the not being able to ping servers, the only way you can get around that is to figure out how to open the required ports on the network at your work.  I seriously don't think you should do that, though, because it could bring harm to your network.  Insta-fired o_o

You will just have to write down the IP of the server you want to connect to, or if you plan on hosting a server from there, you will have to tell other people the IP for them to be able to connect.  I wouldn't suggest hosting a server from work, either o_o

[WolfTones]

I think it's a lost cause, Why don't you just download a target practice srever and "host" it yourself, at least you will get some snipe training!

I have been there, done that.

1.  IP Traffic traceable.
2.  Hosting bring unwanted attention because of net traffic.  Hosting takes a sh*tload of bandwidth + PortOpen();
3.  Joing has less "Inbound" traffic and there for looks more like you are "Browsing".  Mostly just sending Location points, direction pointers, ect.
