Hi All ;)
I work in a warehouse, along with four other friends. We have several computers at our work place. They all run Windows 2000 server. We use them for shipping & receiving, etc. Until recently, we also used them to surf internet, mostly youtube in our spare time, which we often have plenty. However, last month we have got a new, hostile foreman--a real control freak-- who fired one of our friends, and then have blocked our access to the internet. We no longer can go on youtube or any other sites, except for the company's website. He has done this despite the fact occassionally surfing the internet never stood on our way doing our job. We would sincerely appreciate if someone out there can help us to get back on the internet again.

We all have separeate accounts to log in. First, the foreman blocked one of us only. Then, several days later he blocked us all. Therefore, whenever we try to access to the internet, except for the company's website, we are greeted with an "access denied..... contact your adminstartor...." .

I tried to open and reconfigure the ports he had blocked, but i failed, as i don't have the Admistrator's password......

Somebody said if use linux live CD it may work. But i'm not sure this indeed will work. Because i don't think such a CD would be able to reopen the blocked ports automatically--especially if those ports are blocked from company's headquarters, which is far away from the local computers that we use in the warehouse.

Anyway, to make a long story short, i imagine there must be a way to bypass the unjust restrictions.... I would truly appreciate if you can tell me in details-- step by steps-- as to how
can i get back on the internet again?

Any help will be sincerely appreciated.
