I can access almost anything else but FR was recently restricted.

Sounds like your company has a political bent towards the left. Not much you can do about it....Unless you own the company.

I stayed at the Drury Inn in Jackson, Mo. and their lobby comp had F.R. blocked. I was irritated until I checked the DUmmy web site and it was blocked too.

The check in clerk told me that they had to keep the lobby comp "kid friendly"

You could try waiting till you get home.

I **never** accessed a discussion forum at work. Never would either.

It has nothing to do with surfing. I can access almost anything else but FR was recently restricted.

Yeah, well it's a documented fact that I was the first one to mention cheese on FR.

Unfortunately, those documents won't be released until after the 2008 election.

Give us some background. Is your employer trying to stop his employees from farting around on company time? If so, then bypassing the filter will be a big, bozo no-no. If the company attitude is “We don’t care what you do on the Internet so long as it’s not illegal and you get your work done”, then talk to the IT weenies about unblocking FR. It’s probably on a “Forums and discussion sites” list of blocked sites. Ask ‘em to do a whitelist that kicks in before the blacklists are checked. (That’s easier than editing a long blacklist.)

"If your company doesn’t want you surfing at work. Don’t. "

Excellent advice. You can bet that your company has people in MIS (Management Information Systems) who are quite capable of monitoring what you do when "on-line." Don't want to end up without a job, do we?

Go through yahoo search and type in freerepublic then when the link comes up on the search click it. Sometimes the company firewall will miss something going through a search portal. Try testing with some porn site first and let me know if it works?

If your IT dept won’t be reasonable we can just email you all the threads. They might then be reasonable.

Join the club.

I finally just bought my own laptop and a Verizon card and set it next to the company equipment.

I see your point. Effing around with IT shite can get my ass fired. Don’t know anybody well enough in that dept to cut me some slack. i’ll sniff around before doing something stupid.
