How about window$ XP SP2? I hear that their "advanced security features" really suck for everything except browsing the internet (after all, that's all every windoze user does with an internet connection, right?.
University firewalls are usually impossable for normal computer users to get around. Although, depending on the firewall, there probably still ways to get around it. If Kazaa works try changeing LW to listen on that port, as mentioned earlier. If that is not possible or doesen't work there is probably a way to disguise LW's connection as legitamate. With time and knowledge you can find a way around it.

Keep in mind that P2P is blocked at colleges for a reason. So if you choose to circumvent it to use LW anyway you are probably breaking the rules. You can probably see where this is going. For example, if you choose to download Brutus to brute force an account with permission to get through the firewall, steal the username and password, then use it to get LW's connection through the firewall, you would be breaking not only university rules but national laws as well. In my opinion, the ends don't justify the means. So, you should probably just buy CD's or connect off campus. Good luck.
