Is there anyway to get around a firewall at work to play online games???

If it is a dumb question please forgive...

I am sure there is a way, but you may get fired for circumventing IT security.  I would ask your IT department for permission or better yet managment. If you get support from management you will have more backing when you ask IT.

Well the IT people here are not my friends especially since I helped half the department down load Webshots on thier computers and games that we could download on to our hard drive. I doubt that they will as it is a simple block of ISP address. They block alot of stuff out that way very diffulcult when I was doing a research paper on cults/suicide and they came up blocked because of thier isp address.

What I need to find is games with an ISP address that does not define it as a game.

I have several chats at work that I am able to use at work simply because of the way they are indetified like Network54.com. I can't how ever use Yahoo, AOL or MSN.

Rebel BAAA!!! our system administrators have much fun disabling our desktops so we can't change the fonts or make wallpapers. ( I did find a way around that)

We we have a real problem like documents mysteriously disappearing from the server or answering questions for me like "Can you interface two documents in powerpoint using one as a shell overface on a document they have to call in the big boys." (Yes these are the kinds of questions that present to them another reason why they do not like me)

Disabling things they have no problem with putting them back together is another story :)
