first of all... you need not have mentioned it was a University network. in fact, you don't have to say what sort of network it is, or where the hell it is.
i guess you could setup something... like SSH, but then you'd need access to a computer on the network i think. i'm not sure about that.
but if you're thinking of 'hacking' into the network, you'd probably know how already if were someone who had any chance of success. 😛
there are other forums out there that you could be asking this with possibly alot better response as well... 😉
