To take a quick stab at it, if you have an ethernet card in your machine you probably have a route for the A.B.2 network pointing to your ethernet card interface (ed0?). You should be able to remove all routes except the localhost route and your default route to the campus router (unless you have a HAN - Home are network :-> in which case you will have to assign your ethernet card another subnet address, as well as the rest of your home machines...).
