university lan

[boris yeltsin]

i am going to university next week, and have been informed that my on-campus room will have a link to the university's lan. will this allow me to use my playstation 2 to play online or not? should i ask the university people otherwise?

Likely not.

They probably have a firewall that blocks the connections it needs - but maybe not also. You have to ask them.

i don't really want to ask them, because i'm pretty sure theyll just kick up a stink and say im not allowed to use up the bandwidth. however, there's no way i can afford my own third party adsl connection, so is there any way of testing for a firewall with my powerbook?
