intranet

Of course there's a way to bypass this. Just ask your network admin to stop filtering traffic and give you complete and unfettered access to the Internet. If he/she won't do it, and you still have a job, I'm afraid you'll just have to live with their restrictions.

An Intranet is really an internal Website and would have nothing to do with filtering out websites. The product that would be filtering out items would be a Proxy Server or router. These type of products can filter items specifically by url or by type or url.

Your original post sounds like you have limited Internet access through the intranet. Are you now saying you have absolutely no Internet access through the intranet?
If you have no Internet access through the intranet the only way to get Internet access through the intranet is to connect the intranet to the Internet through a ISP. Whether it's cable, DSL, T-1 or T-3, it's going to take a lot of planning.
You were right, there is a way to get around this. But it's going to take a whole lotmore than just a couple of mouse clicks.

try using the ip of your router, or go into the Internet options in IE and untick the Use a Proxy Server box, next option find a public proxy, eg proxy.freeserve.co.uk

open a DOS window and ping techrepublic.com
this will give you the IP{ address write it down, then type this in the address bar and try to access, some security restrictions can be bypassed doing this. Otherwise you are going to have to persuade your administrator that Tech is not harmful, also supply him with the ip addess as he can setup to let it have access

Lots of luck
