QFT. I swear by the above config. Platform-independent too. :beer:

QFTW. VNC'ing into the Exchange box from a workstation has saved me many a trip up and down several flights of stairs. Goes some way to explain my gut, I suppose. It'd be farking terrible if I actually drank alcohol.

BTW, is Websense practically an OS or an App that runs under linux etc?

"Clever proxy", I think. Bit like Smoothwall on steroids.

[Edit] That doesn't answer your question at all. Looks like an app from the website.

No. 😛
I like enormous security holes in networks. It makes me feel like I've got something to do.

Having fun btw, watching me get WTFpwned for doing exactly the opposite of what I did in the last websense thread that was posted in networking.

I guess I jsut don't treat Offtopic threads seriosuly and made a bubu. At least I didn't give the link to anyone else😀

Seriously. One of the professionals over in networking once noted at his workplace that 'one person a week gets terminated for doing stupid stuff with the network', or something to that effect.
We are talking about a degreed professional with a termination on the job history, so they could mess around with the PVR. Does that make sense?

Good point. But I'm at a consulting gig with just a couple of weeks or so left on my contract. Not that that makes everything ok. I just like to have a connection to my home PC available.

if that is truely the case, you need to open port 3389 on your home router and foward it to your home machine.

then type your public ip address in the dialog box o nthe site I gave you.

They probably have deep-packet-inspection kit, or the firewall blocks 5800/5900, or you didn't forward the port at home, or yada yada yada. Lots of reasons.

the cli works damn good over dialup. Who needs a GUI?

it really depends what you are doing...

CLI is fine but something like remote desktop or x-windows is painful

 

[Goosemaster]

quite a few of you are 'curious' :laugh:

deliberately finding wasy to circumvent company policies is grounds for termination. be careful.

Like I said before, I made the mistake of being lax in my judgement here in off topic but I won't do it again;o

Exactly. You are being blocked because they obviously don't want you doing what you've been doing. Go around it, and the next step may be taking a little walk out of the building because you obviously can't take a hint.

This attitude me be taught at the Chubb Institute because every network admin that I come across has this same thought. "I am king of the network and you are only allowed to do what I allow"

It's not an attitude, it's a reality.

Sorry I meant "must" not "me". Anyway, the attitude is my point. Those here who are admins of anything have control over some users. It is not necessary to have an attitude about it. Most people lose track of the point of business and that is to make money. Not inhibit all use of the computer so the admins can brag on the internet about what they are doing.

Note: I have admin responsibilities and have a firm grasp of what my role is. It does not make me feel like a man because I have power over the use of electrons by another human.
