Sorry... that was a Zep paraphrase.
What does it tell you when you try to check the mail? |

| Somebody I knew used to go through MSN.com, but the firewall police have probably figured that out by now. |

Ah, you suffer from the same malady as me: SmartFilter. (or some other brand of website control)
We were having bandwidth issues at work, so the base bought SmartFilter to block out all traffic that wasn't "mission essential." Types of pages that are blocked include WebMail, Gaming, Adult, Anonymizers/Translators, chat, and MP3. Maybe that's how you got screwed also.
So far this website hasn't been categorized as chat, so I haven't lost the ability to visit the BOARD from work, so I've got that going for me at least. |

| If you use outlook express for your email you can configure it to grab your hotmail...that may pass through the firewall fine, because I don't think it uses port 80. |

I hope this never happens where I work. I myself probably run thru 25 GB per day. And that's just me. Whew... I hope that never happens... I'd go nucking futs. |

We need software like that to be installed at my office...but it should apply to everyone outside of IT. These old ladies absolutely CRUSH the T1 downloading clips of Days of Our Lives and whatnot throughout the day. One T1 used by 1000 people sucks. Here's a shot of my bandwidth at the office...
It's actually so slow that when I go this very board I hit stop after about 10 seconds and catch the first dozen or so threads. I can hit refresh, go to the bathroom, come back, and this page may not have yet loaded. |

SmartFilter can handle that request! You can create groups/regions and control which types of sites get blocked for each region. For example, our Judge Advocate General and Medical Folks do not have the same blocking as normal folks, since they need to look up stuff about drugs and other subjects that might be blocked as Criminal Activity.
Right now, I'm the only person on the base who can get to webmail since I am the boss. How cool is that?  However, I'm leaving in two weeks; I have no clue what awaits me at my next duty location.  I'll let you know. |
