A question about surfing the web at work

<< < (2/3) > >>

Red:
Thanks guys.  No open network signals around to piggyback  :(

If the login and pass for the wireless network is a generic one, the same for everyone like at those free Wi-Fi spots, could they still track me down then?

I think our lobby has this kind of access because I always see people using their wireless devices, but never gave it a thought until our company just started cracking down on us.

I'd like to be able to check my email and BYOAC etc... while on my lunch hour.  

Thanks again.

So, here's a question.

Why would you jeopardize your job trying to get around their policies? If I found someone bypassing the policies/procedures I'd put in place, regardless of how they were doing it, I'd fire them. If their job isn't important enough to them to adhere to the policies and procedures of the place, then we'll find someone who will value the job.

My 2 bits.

You mean like an SSL proxy?  LOL

It isn't, but it is important enough to try and find a way around them.

There's a difference.

Good luck with that.

Someone who values the place will most likely be someone who the place won't value.

There was an article recently about the new generation quitting jobs if their bosses banned net use when they can't get onto myspace/facebook it's becoming a problem and most places are having to allow net access or unblock thoese sites.
