your work probably has all forum type of websites blocked not just this one. my work blocks you tube, myspace , and any type of dating site/ porn site/ gun site etc..

You can get in the back door of some of these sites if you do it the right way, for instance, my work doesnt allow me to get on any of these sites but I can go to Boulderbars.com, go to links and find the LOST icon, click on it and get right in :wink:

Wish I could have owned a Jeep when in school

My work is cool about it, but I have to get the reply post's sent to hotmail not work. I just look at lunchtime & after dinner at home.

I haven't had to try it yet - but I've heard a Google English to English translation works wonders with firewalls - they only see Google.......

Sounds like they are using the hosts file to block you. If so, then its easy to get around.

Most good firewalls with decent content filters can block proxy servers. I manage a few that people are always trying to myspace at the office. Slackers!

I work as an IT for Bank of America and We BLOCK ALL PROXY SERVERS. When we do any programming, we allow and block content from our gateway and own proxy servers. Only by permission can any one acess these blocked sites.

In a company like the one I work for there are levels of access, ranging from new hire, and ceo. Of course CEO gets 100% access. And so DO I.

They do this for a few reasons, Company time loss, virus problems, security infomation reasons is pretty much up there along with wasting time.

I am lucky, I can access L.O.S.T from work, I AM THE IT GUY, I can do what I want. :twisted:

My work does the same thing, but strangely enough this is the only forum I can access. :twisted:

We had a kid on my ship that was using proxy servers to access his myspace page because they had it blocked and they saw what was going on and walked up to the compartment and found him by looking at which computer he was logged on to. They suspended his computer access for 30 days while we were on deployment. He couldn't even logon to do work related stuff.

why on earth would I be banned from this forum at my job??
