This could be a lost cause, but here goes.
The proxy server I've got at work is blocking just about everything except the Web, and the FTP port (25). It's a windows based system, and I can't get telnet to connect to a shell, though it will acknowledge the ftp ports. I can't even traceroute, that's blocked to. I seem to remember somebody saying here once that there was a way to fool the firewall by sending your traffic through a different port, like going through port 25 here, but actually connecting to 9999 on CF. Anybody know anything about this, or am I just out of luck?
