Firewall Troubles

[SuperTaster]

So, recently moved to a new apartment, and the internet setup here is being a right jerk: The firewall is throttling utorrent, and preventing me from actually connecting to people(even though it can see how many seeds/peers are out there). I've been spending the past few days attempting to work through things like httptunnel and JAP, to no avail. I can't actually see what router I have(my connection is just a straight ethernet cable into a socket in the wall), and attempting to log into the default gateway(172.17.104.1) gives me a 404 not found.

Any thoughts/suggestions on how to get utorrent working again? Thanks a bunch!

ISP: Suddenlink

Router: Unknown

Couldn't access router to port-forward, can't get tunneling software to work.
