    Default caught at work



    So I work part time in an office and I had been downloading songs from Ares. However, I think the tech people found out and disconnected something because everytime I try and download a song, it says it's connecting, and then nothing happens. Any suggestions?

    Is there any way to fix that or unblock it?

    Not unless you are tight with one of the techies. Can't do it from a client unless you know how to hack...

    Plus the new version of Check Point and other firewalls have application intelligence so it can tell it is a song. Basically burning up company bandwidth to download stuff can be grounds for termination...

    I would buy an MP3 player and bring it from home.

    Try a MAC with I-tunes. It's really weird, all my compatriots with a PC Laptop can't access porn, e-bay or music downloads, but I can and I'm not in with the techs.

    My guess is that all my Techs do is support PC's so they don't have MAC compatible stuff or pay attnetion.

    The only port I have blocked is the Outgoing E-mail.

    Anybody have any Ideas why?

    Yup...the techs blocked the port. It's surprising that it hadn't been done earlier, but most certainly the massive amount of traffic alerted them and they simply closed it. And no, you cannot open it back up. You would need access to the administrative program as well as a password to get into it.

    As for Mac's, madgrad - I'm sure you are certain that the techs don't do much with the macs and it's by chance that there is an open port available for your use.

    Kristen,

    Are you looking to download songs to have on your hard drive for later use or just to be able to listen to songs while working?

    If it is the latter just go to yahoo.com and open launchcast yahoo is hardly ever blocked as it is one of the main search engines.

    If you want to download songs and not pay for them download either MIRC or KazaaLite PK Edition onto disc and run the program from there without installing it and see if that helps

    Good Luck
