Network error

[Kneemin]

I recently moved to school and I believe the firewalls here are blocking EQ2.  All I get is a "network error" that tells me to check my connections when I first try to log in.  I tried to get my ipconfig info but for some reason my cmd says ipconfig and tracer are not commands??!?Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
