If it's blocked then it's blocked for all pc's i'd imagine.

Tried using daveproxy.co.uk?

I suppose they are on one LAN and have access to the internet through a switch/router/whatever so all the computers are blocked basically.

He kinda has a point tbh. If you have something to do then get on and do it, don't procrastinate. You'll find most bosses have no problem with you surfing when you have some free time.

Aside from the fact that its trivial to get around the problem, both in the sense of unblocking it from your "isp server" (mmm, technical term there, nice) and other methods, it wouldn't be a good idea for him to see you accessing the lfsforums for the short term future during your working hours. Especially if he's actively blocked it.

I'm sure he wouldn't bother reading the forums, just to check up on you either..

Nice move.

Really.

You should congratulate yourself.

Quote from xaotik :I was wondering about that term - must be something that 17 y/o IT network support analysts coined recently. :P

I was wondering if it was meant to be Microsoft's ISA server.... Similar sort of naming convention

My second thought was Squid, then I realised that would be silly (for obvious reasons)...

Back on topic:
James, seriously I don't mean to be a big meanie, but telling us you're blocked and going to get a way around it isn't a good plan. Your boss either physically watches you access the web, or checks the logs. Use your noodle. Going against him could be grounds for dismissal, especially since you're clearly involved in the techy team.

Web access over a phone isn't a good plan either, given the UKs pricing on data usage.

True.

jamesrowe,
Work time is for work. I have 3 breaks during day and I use those usually for walking in outside or any other way for moving. Sitting on one place 8h, then walking 200m to home and sit again 8h aint good

So for now if you need break for work...try doing something else besides reading LFS forum

if i was your boss i'd fire you, if not for surfing the net when you are supposed to be working, then for your arrogance and stupidity. how can you honestly think you are going to outsmart your boss? judging by your spelling and grammar, i doubt you could outsmart a 10 year old.
