Yippie! I got it back....kind of :)

I set up Microsoft Terminal Server on my home machine and now I'm connecting
to it using it's direct IP address and then browsing the web from there. The
only concern is the fact that I don't have a static IP address at home, so
if my cable modem gets reset I'll have to call home and have my wife read me
the new IP addy.

Hey it's better than nothing I guess.

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 auction sites)! They've always blocked game sites, adult
sites and a few others, but this blocking of news server sites is awful.
What will I do all day not knowing what is going on in the LEGO world?!

I did send an email in protest and made up some pretty lame reasons why I
need to access news.lugnet.com, so we'll see if they buy it.

A co-worker has ofter to set me up an account on an off site server that he
runs where I connect to it via the web and can browse out to where ever I
want, so I'll have to see how that works. Of course they'll probally figure
that one out some day and block access to it also.

Well for now I'll have to get my LUGNET fix before I go to work.
