Overcome corporate firewall?

[uk_skinner]

I know you said you have tried every possible way.  I just would like to show you this image.  If you did it, then still can not access internet from your PDA.......

If you have already hotsync  and you have internet access in office,  then you shld be able to access internet in PDA as well e.g. www.google.com I dont think its the FW. Maybe some setting in ur PDA or the activesync is not right.

I've already set my pass-through to connect to the internet.  I've tried every possible setting and just can't get it to work.  I can connect at home and automatically connect to the internet and browse around, but everything at work pops up a screen saying "Access Denied" or something to that effect.  I'll try to take a picture of the screen tomorrow and post it here so you know what I'm talking about.  I'm pretty sure I am accessing the internet, but the firewall is not allowing me to open any web sites.

This is a screen shot from my PDA trying to connect to Yahoo from work.  Just as an example, I'm typing this post from my work computer!  My desktop computer connects to this same site with no problems, but PIE shows that I'm blocked.  I'm guessing that my PDA doesn't have a recognized IP address, so it won't allow it to utilize the firewall.

If anyone knows how to remedy this problem, I'm all ears!

NobodySpecial,

I'm almost sure that your administrator at work is the only man who can solve this problem for you! My advice: contact him!

OH ya , I remember something. In some Org, access to internet is controlled by the IP address. e.g. only auth IP can go through. I am not sure whether PDA has its own IP.  Anyone knows?

That's what I mentioned earlier.  I think my desktop computer IP address is registered on the network and is allowed to pass through the firewall.  The PDA is NOT registered on the network, so it can't pass through.

That seems to be the logical reason.

My thoughts are that it is based not on IP but on ports.

At home we have a LAN and to the internet all the computers have the same IP; I should think it is the same with the PDA through a computer.

I cannot run Mozilla Firefox on a work PC, I should think they block that port too.
