A compact, practical checklist for 's situation (host Windows has working campus access but a bridged Kali guest does not). Because the thread mentions disruptive actions, no help is given for any attempt to interfere with other users — that is illegal and out of scope. Building on points raised by and , the items below focus on legitimate causes and fixes.

Common diagnostic checks to run inside the Kali guest (these show whether the guest has an IP/route, can reach an IP, and whether a captive portal is blocking HTTP):

sudo ip addr show
nmcli device status
sudo dhclient -v <interface>
ping -c 4 8.8.8.8
curl -I http://neverssl.com

Virtualization and network‑policy notes (safe, non‑circumventing actions):

  • Bridged over Wi‑Fi often fails because many APs do not forward multiple MACs from one radio; test with the guest set to NAT — if NAT works, the problem is at the AP/network side, not Kali.
  • If the campus requires per‑device registration or 802.1X, register the guest’s MAC or configure the guest for the required authentication (do this through official IT channels). Passing a USB Wi‑Fi adapter through to the VM gives the guest its own hardware if a separate device is allowed.
  • Check for proxy/HTTP authentication used by the campus: the host (Windows) sometimes handles Windows‑integrated auth automatically; the guest may need explicit proxy credentials or browser login to reach the web.

Practical next steps and summary:
work through NAT vs bridged, confirm a DHCP lease and routing, verify DNS vs raw IP connectivity (ping 8.8.8.8), and trigger a captive‑portal test. If connectivity still fails, escalate to campus IT with the guest’s MAC address and the diagnostic outputs above — they can confirm whether policy or filtering is preventing the VM from getting on the network.

What is this "my window"? I would be guessing that your computer's Internet works while you on or near your window and not that you meant to write something about the Windows operating system. Also, what does postfix and python have to do with the issues?

Proxy servers can detect what operating system is being used, and choose to block devices based on this. Your operating system broadcasts this information over the network, and then the network does whatever it wants with this information.

Perhaps your school came up with the ridiculous notion that Linux computers shouldn't be able to use the school's network??

commented: Given Kali's nature as a hacker distribution specialising on intrusion and taking over networks, I'm not surprised they block that distro. +0

None that I know of, although you might be able to change some internal settings somewhere (no clue where though) to tell your operating system to announce itself over the network as something else.

You must tell more. Not only what I asked (I see the Tags have been edited so that question may be moot but you write about trying to kickout members so tell more what that is about.
