Pokerstars banned at MSU?

[HesseJam]

Funny thing is, when I use their network tracer, everything just works fine. I just can't connect to their client

Sounds like its time to pony up the dough and get your own ISP like everyone else.

FWIW, I'm in Israel, and I can't connect to stars' software OR website, which I don't remember ever happening before. It's a bit weird.

I heard that Israel banned PokerStars. Some guy there lost a lot of money and went into debt, and his parents called the government to complain.

In normal circumstances I'd say you're joking, but something very very weird is going on here now, no doubt. Where did you hear that story?

The fact that I can't connect to some other pokersites and their websites is really worrying too, of course.

OK all is well here now, if it matters to anybody. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

There were some really strange connectivity problems, that's about it.

woudln't this violate some kind of constitutional right since MSU is funded by the government?

[SoftcoreRevolt]

The constitutional right to internet? People on MSU's campus pay for internet access, MSU provides it. Unless MSU's terms and conditions say nothing about blocking content, then you have no case.
