I had a buddy in my lan with whom I shared files and such. But
recently our campus network management decided to give our my dorm
building another external ip, and put a firewall( I think) between

have 141.85.0.76. So my question is, being a n00b and all, what can
I use in order to restore the direct connection? I asked my only
physical present network admin but apparently his only role is
pugin computers in switches and give us an ip so he doesn't know
nothing. I did a nmap on the gateway but I've only found 53/tcp
open. I wouldn't wanna revert to skype or other 3rd party computers
since, I guess, it will segnificantlly lower our transfer speeds,
requier bothe our presence...etc. So what way should I be heading
here? Any advice is welcome!Thanks!
If only 53 is open, you are pretty much out of luck except for two
possible solutions:
1. The social solution
You grab a huge bag of gummy bears, carry them to your real network
administrator and ask him to poke a hole for you and your buddy into
the firewalls.
2. The technical solution
You get a box completely outside your compus's network into which both
of you can ssh.

Or you get a long cross-over cable, and or long cable +
switch......Depend how far your computers are physically seperated.
Out of interest, what happens if you nmap your buddies IP and your own
from his box?
