I had this problem at uni. Many campuses block gaming consoles from connecting because they are misinformed and believe them to be bandwidth hogs. My solution was to simply connect my xbox to my PC via a bridged connection, and then just connect the PC to the internet. Boom, unblocked. If you want to know how to do that: -You will NEED an extra ethernet port on your PC, if you don't have one to spare, like I didn't, you will need one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Ethernet-Adapter-Black/dp/B00ET4KHJ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408831589&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+ethernet+adapter -How to bridge a connection to your Xbox console: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/networking/connect-live-using-pc The reason this works is because your Xbox is using your PC as a proxy to connect to the LAN. Basically, all the router sees is your PC connecting, even though it is your Xbox using the internet. DISCLAIMER: Obviously this will only work while your PC is turned ON and connected to the internet. You're welcome and good luck!
