If someone on this board could please answer the following questions:
1) What kind of protocol (or internet filtering) could block emule and torrent downloading but allow normal use of internet (except for login and log out of yahoomail/hotmail?
2) Is this kind of internet filtering common? I mean, certainly there are groups of people that would like to see emule and torrent downloading disabled.
3) During this outage (11pm-7am) why is login and logout of yahoomail/hotmail disabled? Here, I am asking, what unique feature (protocol? of logging in /logging out ) is necessary for login/logout process and what kind of filtering could just eliminate only that function (login/logout) but still allow normal surfing of the internet?
I have tried different port numbers for emule/torrent and this does not solve the problem.
Thanks to anyone who can give me a detailed answer on this topic.

This lan network filtering is ussually. Filter same application or internet traffic to same ports.
The LAN University unblock http/fttp/etc. protocols, but for example the rest of ports are blocked.

And absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Also, can you explain to me something more about ports? You said, "The LAN University unblock http/fttp/etc. protocols."
That is right, I have no problem surfing the internet, listening to web streaming audio or downloading from the web. But emule doesn't connect. (I have updated and have valid servers.) Why can't emule use the same open ports as when I surf the web (which works fine)?

Try to set in your eMule one of this ports numbers (both using same number)
But I said you: Absolutely nothing you can do about configure or modificate network setting.

Many do and it's a big problem.
There are many ways to control, ranging from basic port blocking, through to behaviour/protocol etc. Some might just block default ports, some might detect ports you're using and block them automatically. Some might detect the ed2k protocol and filter only these packets. Some might notice unusual behaviour (constant uploads etc.)
Protocol obfuscation capability was added to help circumvent some detection but it is only useful in specific types.
But while normal ISP's might want to be accurate about their blocking, a University has no need to be. They are providing a service to help with your education and they have nothing to lose by just completely blocking. More importantly, an ISP will be most concerned about bandwidth. A University might be more worried about the legal implications of P2P.

The idea, with these ports numbers, is "if your LAN Network´s blocking (11pm-7am) all protocols except for http/ftp/etc", you´d try to use eMule with port numbers that LAN Network doesn´t block [ protocol http = port 80 ].

Yes. Or if it is not, it certainly will be strictly forbidden. This is true for Europe and US.
