<vent on>

I Effing hate my works firewall security settings! Now they've added most pic share sites that are used on here. So now its damn near a waste of time logging in from work to see anything pic related on INGO.

Did I mention GD IT?!?! If not GD IT!!!

Thats the thing about work that I hate...they expect results an stuff....WTF?

<vent off>

Carry on

Same boat at work. I read the comments and try to determine how funny, cool, sick it must be. Then, when I get home, I verify for myself

work around

There are several different work arounds to your problem... This I know for a fact

I know this, and have used them. Unfortunately our Corp IT dept eventually adds those work arounds to the blocked list.

GD it again! lol

work around

Assuming you are using broad band at home, log into yur firewall, point port 3389 to your home machine, make sure remote desktop is enable on your home machine, make sure all of the local accounts on your computer are password protected with strong passwords, go to a web site like who am I and write down your external ip address. when you get to work open remote desktop, put in your IP and whala you now are surfing through your home ISP

Just a thought

with that

with that work around you will find that most internet usage policies no longer apply to you because you are using your personal internet connection and you are not pulling any bandwidth to speak of

That's why you should be a net admin, you can give your self "special permissions" for "research purposes"

exactly...I'm a senior tech but the Corp IT rules over all Globally.

Sucks!

Hey, your IT department could be like mine, where they blacklist anything that doesn't have to do with your corporate doings. Using my network at home would work, but I can't access anything outside of our basic corporate intranet..

I've allegedly been known to tunnel all my traffic over an SSH tunnel to a remote proxy. Allegedly.

I missed on purchasing a knife the other day due to a corporate firewall for "weapons" I think is what websense flagged it as. Logged on with me Windows Mobile phone and it was gone by the time I got back to the thread on the forum.

Might as well set up remote desktop for that reason, I had actually not considered that either! I have no other use for it, but that use alone will be enough of a reason. But then I have to password protect my PC too. Sigh.

Yeah, my emailing is done via Palm Centro when I'm at work.. ugh..
