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.
