Well here's the problem at my homepage http://www.p-j-t.dk i have a few links on the frontpage. ( For Our Mini SETI TeAm )
The one that i'm unable to access from work is this: http://seti.soni.dk:5517/clients.htm?user=2791860

The company's firewall has the port blocked :( ( and i can't ask the admin for permission )

So what i thought was this:

Is it possible to make a page ( on my website ) that could load the page in question , and let me view it from work. ( a screenshot would be fine ) ????

ANY IDEAS ???

You can write a CGI script that would execute something like "wget -O - www.mywebsite.com" and print the output of the command to the browser. The aforementioned command downloads the URL and sends its HTML code to standard output.

This will work if the server on which your CGI script is executed is able to access that site. Also, if the webserver of that server is configured to allow you (a probably non-privileged user) to execute your own CGI scripts.
