I got to work this morning and was ready to catch up on last night's LUGNET post while I had my morning Dr. Pepper and what do I find out?! My company's proxy server is now blocking "web chatting" sites, basicly all news servers (plus internet (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jun-02, to lugnet.general)

OUCH! They took away yahoo, hotmail, and all the other web-based e-mail from my company, but fortunately, they haven't blocked lugnet or e-bay just yet... keeping my fingers crossed. One other solution (if you don't have an ISDN phone like I do..) (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jun-02, to lugnet.general)

Where I used to work they allowed unrestricted access to the internet. My new job however, they only have one computer. If you want one you bring it in yourself, but there's no connecting to the internet. Eric, Nicole's bro in law "James J. (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jun-02, to lugnet.general)

Nope, they fully restrict almost all ports that would allow me to connect via NNTP, I can't even FTP, or connect to my MAIL server directly (i have to use sites like WEB2MAIL.com to get my personal email) There is also a rule in the guidelines that (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jun-02, to lugnet.general)
