    It's no surprise this forum has been banned at your workplace, cause some idiot has been posting rude/naughty jokes on here! I can't imagine who it was though..


    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
    6 — Plane of Forces
    5 — Astral Plane
    4 — Mental Plane
    3 — Too mysterious to describe.
    2 — Too mysterious to describe.
    1 — Too mysterious to describe.

    I rember asking a good few years back the IT admins at my work place they banned it as it was connected with a betting site.

    Many will just block sites from lists already created or others the admins will trawl though.

    Does the archive still exist ie the low bandwith version? Friendly IT admins may be happy if you want to use that version.. They may also let you in on the seperate proxy that nearly all it departments have access to


    I do understand where John carr and others are coming from but many companies do allow people to do a small amount of browsing During work hours as it stops people going to great length to try and beat the system. It also keeps them at there desks able to respond to emails and phone calls.

    Many offices i go to people will be at their desks an hour or so before they offcially start and work though breaks eating at desks and working long after they are meant to go home. So its a swings and roundabout thing. Most people will be using News sites and travel sites.

    Apart from not allowing porn, offensive to the majority sites and often gambling sites many only seem to crack down on social and gaming websites due to the constant usage and bandwith people use when looking at (photos, videos etc) plus with the built in messagners in some.Plus with webmail and the social media sites and others you can upload and download content which also is a security risk both to the network and company data.
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    Signup for and install Livemesh beta at home

    https://www.mesh.com/welcome/default.aspx

    then sign in from work and install the live mesh beta on your PC, even if you do not use the sync capabilities you will now have a souped up version of Microsoft Remote Desktop that will allow you to connect securely to your home PC without a VPN.

    This will no doubt get banned from most workplaces but it's still fairly new and therefore under the radar of most IT departments. Saying that you need to have the authority to install stuff to start with.

    This version of remote desktop fully scales the remote view (if you want) and also handles dual monitor desktops really nicely.

    My mate in the office was configuring an http IPSec VPN or something earlier tonight and locked himself out of our standard office VPN so he emailed me to ask me to connect up to switch off a service on one of our main servers, it was an absolute doddle

    Basically the same solution as your VNC Joe but with less overhead and at the moment it's not so easy to block although I dare say it might have a bit more trouble with some corporate proxy servers in some big business.

    Right now I love it


    Jim

    cheers jim

    i'll give it a go, not much wrong with vnc, just a bit slow
    also we use vnc at work, so no one would think anything of me, having the viewer installed
