While I might be ripped to shreds by geeks out there in the world for my simple answer, it gets the point across in a basic, understandable way- I hope:\n\nA firewall can be either a physical piece of hardware designed to go between your computer and a broadband connection that is always on, such as a cable modem. It can also be a software installation that runs in the background while you go about your business. Either way, it is a system that is made to recognize inquiries from within your computer (such as spyware secretively installed by other software, a website, or an email) trying to report on you, or inquiries from the outside, by other people.\nVirus protection is a piece of background software that is designed to look for specific information related to specific 'infections' and is comparing data at a very low level to a known infection database (in most cases). This software is scanning everything that goes in or out for the slightest resemblance to something it thinks looks similar to the malicious code it knows, and it regularly updates to keep on top of new bugs.\n\nSpyware protection scans for tracking devices, such as cookies- little bits of data that specifically designate YOU, left in a specific place so your activity can be followed. It also looks for software one might install intentionally (such as a toolbar to help you get good prices while shopping on the internet) that quietly installs the bad stuff to track your purchases. These spyware are generally tools that collect demographics to target you for future consumer interest. They find out you collect teacups and then send information regarding teacups to you by different methods, or sell your teacup likings to others so they can market to you.   My favorite for protection against this is Spybot Search and Destroy, and it's FREE!\n\nIn a sense, you are going through one portal when connected, but that portal is really your connection- the phone line or cable line, etc. This can transmit data, no matter the shape- think highway, data being vehicles. Broadband is a huge 6 lane highway, while the phone line is a country road- much more data can travel at the same time. Your browser- the software that puts that data into a form we recognize, is only limited by the performance of your connection speed and your computer hardware. Internet Explorer can open multiple windows so that you can look at many sites at once. Firefox (available free for download, highly recommended: www.mozilla.com) opens multiple sites in 'tabs' within one window, saving you from an overloaded taskbar. If you have AOL, you are accustomed to viewing everything within a single software presentation, and it's harder to recognize that your machine is free to move about the internet without the constraints of AOL- one must experiment to see how different it can be.\n\nI just explained all of this to my Mother, and hopefully I made sense to you- I've been known to make things perfectly opaque...\n\nCheers!

Haven't noticed any real problems lately.  Had a hard time keeping MSN and ICQ connected a few weeks ago...but Yahoo's never been a problem.\n\nI didn't see anything on their forum either.

I would recommend that you not attempt to do this.  Most companies have 'acceptable use' policies regarding internet usage at work.  If your company is blocking particular sites, then it probably isn't a good idea to try to get around it.  I know for a fact at my company that attempts to circumvent any network security is considered a "Type 1" offense and can lead to serious reprimand and/or loss of your job.\n\nNot really worth it in the long run.

Wait till you get home from WORK before you PLAY.\nEmployeers have firewalls for a reason. They want their employees to do the job they were assigned to do. They found far too many employees wasting company time which is company money. So, don't even try to bypass the firewalls. You will get FIRED for you efforts.\n\nWait till you get home from work to play on YOUR COMPUTER on YOUR time.\n\nIf you're a kid trying to bypass your school's firewalls or firewalls installed by your parents to protect you from undesierable content the same message applies to you. You are at school to learn, which is your primary job.

As far as I know ZoneAlarm firewall is freeware now so you can download it and install it. Another alternative is this one:\nhttp://www.ghostsecurity.com/ghostwall/

Well, that's just it, you're trying to use it in your Office.  I'm betting that the company firewall is blocking all P2P programs.  You might be able to bypass it but I'm not going to tell you how to do so because one, it's illegal and two, even if it's not, it probably will violate any contracts you may have signed with your company.

Hey! Great question...\n\nWhat you are referring to is a VPN. Typically a VPN consists of a minimum of 2 pieces of hardware, configured to accept each other's incoming traffic and (un)encrypt that traffic. \n\nIf you do NOT already have a firewall on both ends now is the time to get them! A good firewall will provide adequate, secure VPN services as well as NAT/PAT/etc.\n\nThere are so many brands and feature sets I won't recommend a particular one. However, the first things you need to do are:\n1) Become familiar with what a VPN does exactly (look at Cisco's site for a really good primer)\n2) Decide what you want to do with the VPN. If you are looking at just accessing e-mail or simple file transfers that's great. But if you want to get into running applications (such as accessing an Access MDB) over the VPN I think you will be quite disappointed. This is, of course, all dependent on your connection speed.\n3) Research some hardware by looking at both Professional and User reviews (but remember to take them with a grain of salt)(Check out CNET.COM for hardware reviews). Be sure to pay particular attention to the type of encryptions it is capable of using. If you can, get 3DES encryption as it is the current industry standard and is relatively quick so it won't impact performance.\n4) Determine your budget for both ends, and don't forget to include installation costs if necessary for the other end from where you are (if you can't get there easily)\n\nAlso, if you have dedicated Internet connections (such as Frame Relay or other type of T-1) you can call your ISP and ask if they sell a firewall/VPN package that works with your current connection.\n\nI just got through setting up a new VPN for my business so I could work from home, and with a T-1 circuit it's pretty slow. So we use a Remote Control package on dedicated PC's to do most of the work. This way only screen shots, keyboard and mouse controls are being passed. Not only is it blazing fast, but the remote control software adds an additional layer of encryption to the data being passed. Nothing like encrypting your data 5 seperate times for security!\n\nGood look, and welxome to the world of VPN's!

try to use a remote access to the computer at work so that way you are at home and accessing the program thru the company computer. you have to have to be able to have acces thru the firewall to access it. this is not hard to do but most people dont know you can even do it.

uninstall norton firewall, use zonealarm. is free, does the same stuff, and you can customize what gets through.

You probably are hitting a firewall set up by either the person who had it before you, or the administrator. What type of system do you have and how old are you?

Go to your firewall settings. What firewall do you have?\n\nYou will have to go to the preference or settings and there should be a way to see all the programs that have been blocked or not blocked. You need to allow your firewall to access the programs. \n\nIt would be easier to help if I knew what firewall program youre using....example norton, mcafee, etc.\n\nGo to your norton. Click on Security. There should be an  option there to allow you to block and unblock programs. Do you have Norton Security Suite?\n\nI tried to contact you, but it says your email is unverified. Email me back if you still cant find the access list. I need to know exactly what software you have. Is it Norton Security Suite?

You have two choices....leave your job or get fired for trying to bypass the IT Department's firewall.\n\nRumour has it that you're there to work, not to play.

Ya, I hear ya brother.  I am in the business and I do not even run any virus protection nor adware crap or spybot propaganda.  I have yet to get a virus?  Never been infected in 16 years, it baffles me to no end all the computers that come into my shop infected, and they all have umpteen programs on their system to protect them, doesn't seem to work all that well does it!  I still say my behaviour and my brain are the best firewall/virus protection.
