Thanks for the clarifications. If you have use that computer to get to the Internet you should read the sticky Maximizing Upload and Download success. at a bear minimum you should be able to connect to the network, conduct searches and download content. People may not be able to upload from you.

However, my suggestions are useless if you are not the administrator of the network that you are trying to set this up without authorization [official IT support] Why is this so important?

I manage a network that spans from the East to the West coast but all of the network traffic is forwarded to a central location and proxied out to the Internet. So any user could in his or her office setup a filesharing program but it won't work because filtering takes place at a point in the network beyond a users router but before the Internet.

Therefore, these things are fundamental to accurately understanding your situation.
