Actually, it is not a school, I live on campus at university.

Assuming I no nothing, am i able to change such proxy port stuff. All I nkow is that the http proxy works fine for msn, and I am able to put my passowrd with that one.

As far as p2p is concerned the same principles apply across the world. Even in Australia ... yes I've attended Australian universities ... 4 in fact, not to mention TAFE. Nowadays schools (as a whole) tend to block p2p use one way or another. If you can use a http proxy then try it. It's worth a go. Anything is when you're being blocked. You need to be patient with proxies & try different ones. Not all work. Also try different ports outside of the 6xxx range.
