Firewall Trouble

by ian_gendreau . Updated 25 years, 7 months ago

Maybe someone out there can help with this. We are a 100-person company that has been bought out by a much bigger company. All our internet access now goes through them via frame-relay. Obviously they have their firewall checking all kinds of stuff, but technically, our users can get to any site, including pornography or gambling(it’ll show up on a report though). However, the firewall doesn’t seem to let us connect to useful servers for 3rd party apps, like ICQ or ScourExchange. We have immediate needs for both programs in our company, ICQ for messaging, and Scour for media clips for presentations. Is there a way around this? Is it a configuration problem with the 3rd party app? Or do we have to talk Big Brother into letting us through? Any help would be great… thanks…
