If you guys are struggling through a school web blocker, I have a few choices for you.

1. http://google.de/  -- German
    http://google.ca/ -- Canadian
    http://google.it/   --  Italian
    http://google.co.uk/  - British
If images dont work on google.com, use the german google.

2. https://www1.stday.com
    https://www2.stday.com
    https://www3.stday.com
3 Proxy's that work. They are all in chinese or some crap, but it is simple to tell where to input the web site to get to.

3. Start > Run > cmd > Ping www.whatever.com
I know with my old schools web blocker that it did not block Internet Protocol's (IP Addresses), so this is an easy way also.
Hope I helped you kids still in school :)

Haha, when I'm at work and want to see Maddox's site or something (to get a link), I google it, and look at the cached version. :P

Our computers at school had Run disabled, which made things only slightly more interesting. We used Visual Basic to shell into exploring the C drive where we could open up a command prompt. From there, we could manually FTP in and download Firefox, then install and run it. The sys admins configured the content-scanner proxy on IE only, so once you had the Fox, you had unrestricted access.

Their response was to add to the Novell logon script a section that deleted any copies of "firefox.exe" in the default install location. We got around this by renaming it ("firefoxed.exe") or installing it to a non-default directory. It was pretty sad, really.

That's really pathetic.

"Your network administrator has disabled the command prompt.
Press any key to continue . . ."

Any other ideas? =p

EDIT
At our school, Start > Program Files > Accessories > (System Tools > ?) Command Prompt

we had to use google.ca in my graphics and animation class because our admin thought it would be a good idea to disable pictures with google.  I actually figured out it worked on accident by going to diffrent national google sites in another class, it was pretty sexy.

"Your network administrator has disabled the command prompt."

Get a floppy disc and find a proxie list.  Assuming you are using i.e when you go to school open internet explorer > tools > internet options > Lan Settings > use proxy server for your lan

and then fill in a proxy and port from your list.

I'll copy and paste my old speech here:

Screwing around with school computers is a very dumb idea.  You can get expelled, ruin your education, ruin your life, and for what? Nothing.  School isn't a game, and messing with school computers isn't a game.  It's just a plain dumb thing to do.

Oh God, I hope not.  This thread is proof that people who have some idiotic idea in their mind don't listen to reason, or think of consequences.  If I had to look after kids who acted like that, and I'm sure they all do, I'd kill myself.
