[QUOTE="baggss, post: 1197649, member: 6762"] It ay not be access points. The school could simply have blocked the ports that the devices require to communicate with each other over the network. Not all that uncommon and many public networks do this to keep bandwidth from being bogged down/hogged by a few users. Many hotels do this as well. Talk to your schools IT dept and see what they say, odds are they can tell you pretty quickly what the issue is. Remember, you're not at home any more and this stuff isn't really "free". If you want real control, get Internet service through your local cable company (or other provider) and set up your own network. Then you can do whatever. [/QUOTE]
