Making ventrilo work behind a university firewall.?

Question

I have just moved into university and found out that their firewall blocks Ventrilo. I emailed the network admin and he said that ventrilo will only work on port 3784. This does not mean much to me. I found out that my ventrilo server runs on port 28029. 

Is there anyway i can by pass this firewall so i can use ventrilo again?

i also heard of applications such as HTTP-Tunnel and Proxifier. I tried these out but they are too complex for me. With all the proxy and ip stuff. Has anyone got ventrilo to work behind a firewall? and if so how did you do it please?

Thanks.

this is what came up with a search
After the client program has been installed you can use these quick step-by-step instructions for getting the program configured and connected into a server. Before you begin you need to know several things before you can connect to a server.

    1) The server's hostname or IP address. The person running the server should have this information.

    2) The server's port number. Ventrilo server's and client's default to port number 3784 but if the server admin has changed the port number then you will need to tell the Ventrilo client to use the same port number when connecting to the server. 


And for the Server
To change the configuration of the server simply click Start -> VentSrv -> Edit INI file. This will open the server INI configuration file using the Notepad program. Make the necessary changes, save the file and restart the server. The INI file is documented in the "Setup Documentation" menu option.

So you can change the port to 3784
