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.

Regards,

Noel.
