Will try installing Firefox / Opera on memory stick and running the internet from this - however, given that the proxy settings changed still disables I do not hold much hope.
Why do firms make access so restricting? I really do not want to lug two laptops about just to gain internet access when working away!!
Any more ideas?
Please package your laptop up, hand it back and tell them that you can't be trusted.
/Pet hate; people attempting to bypass the security restrictions that are there for a reason!
