That means the default port 6346 is blocked. The majority of universities nowadays do attempt to block p2p sharing because it uses a lot of bandwidth which they pay dearly for. First thing they often do is block a range of ports. So ... can try changing ports; try changing both connection & listening ports to one between 49152 - 65535. Example: port 64049.
Manual port forward instructions & sample image & set it to either manual port forward or the other option, but not UPnP. Manual port forward as the lesser preferred choice.
You will also need to set up an exception for LW in your Vista firewall rules:
