I'm on a military base overseas and we use a local ISP for the living
area. Since before Christmas, we can't web cam using Yahoo or play any
on line gaming, like Second Life. When I try to webcam with Yahoo it
says "it appears you are behind a firewall". I can webcam using Skype
but still can't play on line games. Our communications guys say they
didn't do anything to block the ports and they said the ISP is saying
the same thing, strange since this is affecting everyone in the dorms.
Any suggestions?

You get this problem behind many NAT devices that have issue with UPnP. It
is likely the local network rather than the ISP. Talk to your network techs
again. I would say its an issue with their equipment being misconfigured
for services such as this.
