I dont know exactly how the campus network is structured, but I would think when I'm on their wireless network I'ld be on a different subnet than my desktop in the dorm. How exactly would I find my computers. Its just a workgroup network, but theres thousands of computers.
I do have a static IP for every computer, so that would probably be the only way to find my computer on the network.
You can get more complex with your security by using VPN. Windows XP Pro has VPN capability. It is set up using the New Connection wizard. Once setup you can create a desktop shortuct to open that connection.
