Many corporate firewalls will block this. I actually cheated and put my
inbound connection on port 443 so it then just looks like an outbound
https connection and was able to "wiggle my way" through the
access
controls :-) You can then fiddle about to your heart's content.
DISCLAIMER! Most employers have computer abuse policies, so make sure
you don't fall foul of the IT dept!
