I figured since I was using my own computer (laptop), that I wouldn't have those kind of problems...I didn't even know they could configure the actual service to block downloads...I know I wouldn't have been able to do so on one of their computers but...anyhow...Ursula what do you mean by using a different port? Like just finding another docking station in the library? I'm sure I'm not the only one at my school to ever have attempted this...Maybe I'll just ask a friend of mine if I can use her DSL...hmmm...oh well I'll figure something out...Thanks everyone...
