I am currently on a DSL but the it's getting access from the company so it has a huge FIREWALL annoying as hell I was wondering if anyone could help me somewhat bypass the firewall so I can actually get onto AIM and ICQ stuff like that the firewall right now only allows http access anyone know how to adjust it so it will use the same configurations but as a SOCKS proxy?

Hoo boy. Good luck. I've heard there are web interfaces to ICQ and/or AIM around somewhere, you may want to look for those.

Have you tried asking the admin to open specific ports?

Being a Network Admin and a port scanner, I understand your need. But you have to realize why the firewall is there in there in the first place. Defiantly talk to your admin and ask for help first or if it is even ok. If not you may get into some serious stuff.

There is a JAVA based AIM on aol website. as for icq the new icq2000a is suppose to work with a firewall up.

Yes definitely yell at your network admin with defiance! Tell him or her you won't take this crap anymore!

We're not going to take it
no we're going to break it
we're not going to take it~~ anymore.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the help Yeah I know it sucks so how am I suppose to do that port scanner thing?

LORDDCT

Whoops sorry misread that Yeah I understand it sucks oh well thanks though I know that the web firewalls address up I don't know what it is for the aim and icq should it be the same or the admin just disabled it?
