how can i get online to play video games at my school?

we have an ethernet connection, but my schools internet is so bad, every time i try to log on to either halo2 online or socom 3 or final fantasy xi or whatever, i cant get online. i have friends that play online games on their computers. they dont know anything about videogame consoles. ive called the computer support at my school. they just say that online videogaming is not a top priority (what kinda BS is that?) any suggestions as to what i should do to attempt to get online? real quik, another thing about socom 3 is that i can get online into the main menu, i can type friends who are in games, but i cannot actually join a game. is it just that my schools connection to the internet is that bad? please help. any info would be greatly appreciated. im goin through withdrawels here! 7

It's probably a fire wall that rejects the type of connection you need to play a game. It just sees a foreign computer trying to access one of its own programs and it naturally stops this type of connection like it is programmed to. See if you can get to firewall controls somewhere and loosen the connection you're using.
dude its not your internet speed, its just probably being blocked by some program, i got the same thing at mine!
