The problem could be your personal (norton, mcafee, etc) or router firewall is blocking the P2P port a/o because of the outrageous bandwidth that P2P applications utilizes - the college may being BLOCKing P2P ports (or programs) from running on their network.

Is anyone else on campus able to run the P2P application? Check with the college tech support folks to see if they block p2p ports/pgms.
