Hi again, well in my network settings there is no gateway specified .. in my tcp/ip settings DHCP is enabled .. (win2000) so its obtaining the ip adress & DnS server automatically ..
From what you say, i think the server has disabled you from getting any outside access.
--> ya rite .. but there must be a way out .. atleast some how i could be able to telnet outside ..
i tried to go on a website which has a telnet applet which i can access from the browser & then connect to another server but even that aint working ..

& every time i start my browser & give a URL ..squid asks me for a login & passwd which is similar to the official mail id i have as squid & the mail server r running on the same server.. is there any way i could bypass that authorization or save the passwd .. coz in win2000 the "remember passwd" & "save passwd" really doesnt save it for the next use..
huh.. rgds </shahazad>

recently in my company the sys admin has setup a squid proxy which is now restricting me to access yahoo messnger & other services like ftp, telnet etc. it is only allowing http on 8080. i could directly ping or telnet any server as if i was directly connected to the net.
you cannot ping to any outside address ? connect to any website? can you ping other machines in your network. You should set up your client to point to port 8080 of your gateway.
now what i want to do is i want to run yahoo messenger/icq, telnet, ftp .. i
use the same port for your messenger.
I am also unable to check my other POP3's except my official one ..
uh huh. From what you say, i think the server has disabled you from getting any outside access. check your gateway settings if they are proper.

Noel.
