Beating a firewall

    My workstation's firewall won't let me connect to the server to up/down load, so I transferred the work folder to it with the USB key and now it's folding away quite happily.
    What's going to be the safest way to upload the finished WU's? Transfer back on to USB key and, erm... ?

    Safer way would be to copy the whole folder onto a USB drive and then run the console on another machine, let it upload and get new work, copy the folder back to the machine.

    Have you checked your proxy settings? That could be why you can't download work :)

    I only tried ticking the Internet Explorer connection settings box - it wouldn't play. I'll tick the proxy box and monitor it when it finishes the WU.
    Cheers
    :D

    Any ideas? :(

    not sure if this is what will help you out, but I couldn't think of any thing else.

    That's a very interesting looking 'thing'! I have a feeling my IT dept would have a freaking fit if I tried it out :eek:

    Do you know the proxy address that you normally use for normal internet access?
