It's possible that the network doesn't allow peer-to-peer traffic in the dorms.
Find a compsci friend, buy him/her beer. Explain what you're trying to do. Explain that the cube is a static IP. They may tell you that it's all firewalled, or may have a tip or two.
In theory, you can get around it with two NICs. Leave your PC connected as-is on NIC#1. Set the cube network up NIC#2 static LAN. Configure the proxy to listen for getwork on NIC#2. Crossover cable may be required.

That worked! I talked it over with a MIS major and he told me pretty much the same thing. A jargon-filled chat here, a greased palm there, and now my Cube is pumping 36-38 GH/s! I barely understood what he was saying, but it had something to do with a static LAN and network cards.
Thank you so much! Now I've got a passive income while I work on my studies! Thanks again!
