I need to download Adobe Shockwave, however I am using my employers wireless connection in my staff accomodation and the firewall blocks anything that contains the word "download" - any ideas?
depends why you "need" shockwave.
if it's for work - shouldn't be a problem to get it on monday
Do bear in mind it's not technically a firewall that's doing this ... a side issue is that your employer is almost certainly monitoring your useage ....
