Are other people in the dorm able to use LW (or any other p2p app)?
Heaps of schools block p2p use. Did you ever use LW at college before (you said you've used it for 2 yrs but was that at college or at home)?

You might need to find out what the school's policy on p2p use is. The computer/network admin should be able to give you details.
Check out the links below, there's some info about proxies. No guarantees that it would work though, if your school's anti-p2p
