Public Wireless Internet. I can go to all websites. I like to play Diablo
online and I can when i am connected to other wireless internets but when I
am on the UA's internet, the game cannot find a server. Someone help me so I
dont have a boring time on campus.

I like games too.  Nowadays, many school LANs have started blocking gaming and
P2P networking, because of the security challenges.  The more snide helpers may
simply advise you to crack the books.  I don't think it's from a need to make
you study, I do think it's a need to secure the network, against both bandwidth
saturation and network security threats.  Maybe your Uni LAN admins can advise
you better.
