Also, I have a job at the CS office, but I haven't started working yet. Is it bad that I'm trying to find the easiest way to learn without starting a dispute or getting my face and IP address posted around campus.

I understand that 99% of the people on campus intend to either suck up bandwidth or whatever else, but not me. Could you imagine being 18, spending alot of money on equipment to supplement your learning...and now you can't because previous users have crapped up?

Scott Mac have a BEST advise
Listen to him
Other people need little bit more Fiber in their Diet

How will I ever be as great as Dr. Scott Mac if I don't learn?!?

It isn't that you can't use it. The issue here is that you cannot use it in the way you intended. Get DSL/Cable, etc.

Well, I am not your average student. I'm not tryin to be a rebel. I'm trying to learn. I'm Cisco certified and I want to setup a mini-lab. The problem my university has is students disrupting the network: advertising DHCP and sharing multiple connections.

You may be asking, if he's CCNA, why does he need our help. Well, I just thought I could find someone who may have been in this situation before and could advise me about any vendor-specific protocols or something similar that may get me caught.

Btw...my school encourages online gaming. They support Xbox Live and host team challenges. Anyone who has prior experience, don't be afraid to comment.

As a sys admin at a private college, I can tell you that they WILL find out about you eventually.

If you are as good as you say, then go find the sys admins at your school and talk to them. Don't go to their management, they will give you the runaround and just say no in the end. The sys admins can give you more details on why they may want to restrict it, and maybe give you their blessing to do it.

If you piss them off, they will can just shut down the network port to your dorm room. Then what will you do?
