Well this sucks, on monday it worked fine from work and now its blocked

They must have run a check to see where all their bandwidth was going....

BUSTED! :sad5:


Just kidding, hopefully. Sux though.

I dunno why this is blocked. DM and DC are both working fine

It doesn't give a reason?

It may be the arcade or "games".

It might be but DM has an arcade as well

Maybe your IT Admin was monitoring your surfing habits, and found out you were not getting any work done.

Doubt it. I am the biggest producer at the office. I surf DM as much as here. Bastages, we need to hunt the guy down who blocked it :tongue:

it's blocked at my job too.... and yes it worked there last week just fine..... oh well... I'll have to catch up when I get home....

Well hopefully guys, when the new software gets up, it won't be an issue. Some stuff is blocked from my work too, but I bring my personal laptop and it doesn't block anything across a wireless connection.

Cool, I cant wait until the new stuff is running

One thing to remember, is some companies do monitor what sites you go too. Just as we've seen over at another forum, some IT Admins become over eager in there blocking of things THEY think you shouldn't be doing.

Also, most larger companies have hardware firewalls with a subscription service. So, it may not actually be your company doing the blocking. It's the subscription service they buy for their firewall.

But they can manually add "approved" sites so they won't be blocked. Make friends with one of the IT guys and see if they can put a firewall rule in place that won't block it.

John - I do NOT want to know how you found that page. Those chicks were SCARY looking.

Well, that was an eye-opener.........

I sure as hell wouldn't pay just to get an address for a pen pal. And I sure wouldn't want one of them to know how to locate me.

Hey, how do you think I met my wife?

When I was doing my IT stint in Corporate America, I used to ask the users who were having Internet connectivity issues to try bringing up that site. Everybody loved it. A few of the women asked if there was menbehindbars.com site...

You know, I think there is something similar. But I am not about to go looking for it.

That's the way it's done nowadays...

I don't understand certain things, though. My company initially blocked all sports sites, then financial stuff (online trading at work is a no-no). They add stuff here and there, like now photobucket is off limits.

However, eBay is still allowed. Seems kind of dumb.

We got lucky at our place, and the Division manager that is over MIS (we are just one group in a larger group under him), is an avid sports fan. He sent out the command to unblock the Fantasy Football sites.

Oh yeah, and eBay too!
We are pretty lucky though. I can get to most anything I need too. I have seen a few times that even though I could get to a site, clicking on certain links within that site (A thread in off-topic for instance) would bring up the "Access Denied" page from our firewall.
