Very good odds that any university WiFi system is firewalled to only
allow "common" protocols (perhaps via a proxy server yet): SMTP, POP3,
IMAP, HTTP, HTTPS, maybe NNTP. Ping and Traceroute may be viewed as
security risks. Can you attempt telnet (likely blocked as insecure), FTP
(same), or SSH (even if you don't have an account at the target host) --
just to see if any of those get a response from a remote host?
