James, I would suggest not running two interfaces at the same time for what your trying to do if you can avoid it.
The reason is that someone is blocking the ports that your using on the lan for a reason. I'm guessing do to your email address that your at a university and they are limiting the ports your can use and what can affect you. If you use both connections at once you create a bridge around the firewall that protects you and everyone else behind your firewall. So from a security point of view, I wouldn't do it. The chances that something bad might happen to you from your bridge is limited, but you might affect your neighbors indirectly.
