I am no expert, but it may be a firewall. Or it may not be anything remotely close and I will look like a moron.

ah the wonders of dorm life. if it's a firewall you're dealing with(which is what it sounds like) then there's really no easy fix for it. i've had the same kind of connectivity issues the last several years in my dorm as well and have never found a consistent solution for it.

So, to summarize the article - You can call and have them register your xbox's MAC address or you can buy a cheap router, clone your PCs MAC, and then hook up random machines anytime you want.

Duckman, maybe you can try this so we can update throughout the week in our dynasty?

I would go the router/clone mac address route, as you might need to do some port forwarding in the future.

Expect bandwidth to be an issue during peak hours in the dorms.
