IE probably has a proxy set to go through your company's firewall. My
old employer had the same restriction. However, using any browser that
hasn't been configured by Internal Support (ie a vanilla Netscape or
Firefox) and the machine will establish direct contact bypassing the
company's security.
Disclaimer: I am NOT in any way shape or form condoning bypassing
security of any system, for any reason whatsoever. I am simply
answering the question posed.
Kind regards,
Julian
