Re: [Plug] Debian install/upgrade


I don't know what your companies firewall allows to pass through it.  

Has your sysadmin assigned you an 
  ip address?
  domain name?
  host name?
and this other information?

If the firewall has been setup to allow traffic only originated from the corp ip
addresses then if you set up a system inside the firewall and use 192.168.1.1 to
get through the firewall that address would be blocked and the administrator
should have been notified that someone within the organization was using their
net.

read the info page for ipchains for more information and see your
/etc/init.d/networking file for more information.
