If I set up port forwarding for my laptop at home, will I be able to connect to my colleges wireless network?

Question

I want to set up port forwarding to make an azureus download go faster. I'm getting speeds that are consistently around 1.5 kb/s. I did the speed test and got a max speed of 205 kb/s, so there is obviously a problem. I'm confident that I can do the port forwarding because I've done it before, but I want to know if I'll be able to connect to the wireless network at my college. When I get to school will I have to reconfigure my network settings?

Answer 1

You will have to reconfigure at school because it most likely will be a different connection.

Answer 2

Yes you will. It's simply going to your wireless settings and changing the tcp/ip protocol to default instead of having it static.
