As for your default route: you said you were setting it to your local
machines ip? (maybe i parsed that wrong) You don't want to set the
default route to the same machine, that's just as bad as not having a
route in the first place.
As you're at a uni, surely the admin there will know what the ip for your
default gateway is. Getting them to tell you is beyond the scope of
this list :)
