Posted March 18, 2014 So i am on a University network which has a dc server set up. It obviously doesn't allow external connections to it. But I would like to allow my friend to connect to the chat section on the hub. Is there a way to allow a connection through my computer to theirs (Preferably a small text application since i only want to give the chat functionality). I can set up a virtual machine of almost any OS (Preferably windows 7 or Ubuntu though) Any help would be appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 2, 2014 Well you could easily set up a simple VM and install a DC client on it, then allow your friend to connect to that VM with something like TeamViewer. I'm not sure if there are any chat-only DC clients, but it would be pretty simple to say "Don't download anything" (it would only go to the VM anyway) or to give him only a few GBs to play around with so he actually can't do anything. Something light like Linux or XP would probably be your best bet since all he really wants is to chat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
