yea, my univ. has already messed with the network to make it harder to browse the shares of other people who dont live in the same dorm as you. now you gotta go and do a whole network scan just to figure out where all the PC's are in order to browse their shares(or have your friend send you their IP).

quite annoying as thats what i used to do when i was bored and now i only have like 15 PC's to go through, 9 of which are XP boxes with some wierd password protetection(gateway or dell or something must have started doing this by default).

my personal feelings are that filesharing on campus is FAR from over, with utilities like HTTPort available.
