Hi, I am trying to connect to another computer on my university's network that is setup to receive ssh connections. I tried using this in the terminal:

ssh username@IPAddress

just like I was told to do. I got the error

ssh: connect to host IPAddress port 22: Operation timed out

So in doing the only troubleshooting stuff I know how to do, I realized that I can't successfully ping any address other than 127.0.0.1. I tried through the terminal and that network utility thing. I can do a successful nslookup of the computer I'm trying to connect to, though. I can't even get 'ping www.apple.com' to work, and since I'm writing this post on my computer, I'm definitely connected to the internet. I've been searching online for troubleshooting ideas for a while, to no avail. Any ideas on how I would go about solving my problem? Thanks!

Is there any chance that you are connected though a firewall that only allows outgoing traffic on port 80, or perhaps through a transparent http proxy? (For example, are you on a corporate network or the network of a K-12 school district?)

I'm not sure how to test that sort of stuff, but I'm on a College network, and the computer I'm trying to log into is also in the college network, so maybe that outgoing traffic thing doesn't matter? I have used bittorrent and AIM and other non-http port services without any problems, so I don't know if that's a big issue. Maybe it has something to do with my computer's setup? I have 10.3.9, if that means anything.
