Blocked Internet Access Overriden

[xtoor]

My internet access at work is blocked :-( however recently I've been able to access all websites including p2p, fb, gmail and other websites that are actually blocked for all staff with internet access.

The weird thing is I can only access the internet from one P.C, I don't have a roaming profile but even when someone (with a roaming profile) without internet access logs onto the same P.C they're immediately granted full unrestricted internet access.

How is it possible that Internet Access is Open on a P.C and it overrides individual profile internet access control?

I'm using Windows XP SP3 - let me know if you require more info.

its done on ip address most likely.
Does that machine have a static ip? IF yes, my money is on ip,
if no, then machine name would be the next bet

Yeah IP address filtering seems the most likely cause.

So you're the bastard that took my IP address?

Tip...learn how to use ccProxy....

if I find somebody who uses ccProxy in order to give somebody else internet access, both users will get a written warning as it is against company policy...


the bastard inside me will rm -rf * both lusers' home directories and zap all their emails :twisted: then blame it on a dodgy link they clicked on :twisted:

Thanks for the quick response guys, it appears there's a whole lot I need to learn about networking. Any books or sites you'd recommend?
