Many schools use something called a "packet shaper" to prevent P2P traffic. This basically caps the bandwidth flowing through various ports so random port numbers can't be used by P2P clients. This basically means that any non-standard protocol will suffer from poor bandwidth allocation, and you'll need to find out the port info for SRO. You can try looking around for port numbers, or you can download a program called Ethereal which will log the packets sent to / from your computer. You can use this to isolate which ports are being used by various programs, and you should be able to use it to get the port numbers for the login server and the game server. It'll be easier if you can find a port list somewhere though, so maybe check the official forums. Usually a search for "ports" will bring you the relevant info.

I got: "222.111.150.113:80"
Someone posted earlier that the above IP is the one used for the server, and port 80 is HTTP. If you can view the internet, you should be able to connect to SRO. You may want to try out some network diagnostic tools, such as those found at
http://www.broadbandreports.com, to see if there's some unique problem with your connection (i.e. lost packets, bad ping times, etc.).
