No MyLot, No Gmail, No Gtalk, No Yahoo, No Rediff & No PTC, NO ACCESS :(

I'm so sorry about thr access problem. How is everythig else? Do you think you will be happy?

Hi Ajay My younger son joined a new company recently, he has the same problem in office internet, i think it is a good step taken by companies, many waste time there and neglet the basic work for which they are paid.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

I hated that when I was working at the bank; they make sure you don't check on your personal things like email, facebook websites like this... Only certain levels in the company can get that access. When I was at the other job, I wa able to access anything at work, I was a secretary, so pretty much all I havae to do is makin gappointments for my boss and hosting meetings etc. I did a lot of internet surfing when my boss was out

Yeah, my company now doesn't allow much Internet access, though I understand why because of the security risk and threats in the internet. Though I'm happy to say that Mylot is not yet blocked (no spyware, malware or anything!).. But other sites are blocked so I stick to mylot when I am at the office during lunch breaks or before I start working if it's still early.

Woah, no mylot, no gmail,no yahoo...that's pretty sad. Well, then what's the use of internet in the office. Give a suggestion to your boss to disconnect the internet of office as it would save some money of him. I mean that most of the people have their email ids on gmail or yahoo.And most of their clientele/mates/friends knows the gmail or yahoo id with whom they deal/interacted earlier. So, if someone send you some official info your formal email id(or i would say the id which you used for so many years), how would you retrieve that. Again went through hassles.Set up account configurations and forward mails to new account. So, a trick for you. Try proxy servers to open the site you wish to browse. Or ask your system admin to revise the list of blocked sites and atleast allow the necessary ones like yahoomail or gmail.

I think that company simply screened these sites to avoid employees from goofing off through the internet. I think it is just right, as when one is in work, he should be paying attention to office matters, and not personal matters. After all, the employee is being paid for his time.

That's too bad,but in my company all of them are also forbidden. Bosses hope their employee work hard and no any entertainment during working time. Another thing is to prevent virus.

I think I would find that very frustrating. You should be able to access personal sites during work breaks. I know some companies are worried you might try to access inappropriate sites during working hours, but if you are on a break, you should be able to access at least your personal email. Is there a way you can discuss this with your employer and find out what their reason is? If they are worried about security, it is understandable. What do the policies of the company state about internet access? Good luck with this!

I know i would be very upset about that. I have a iphone and a good thing about that is that is my timewarner internet messes up then i will just tether my iphone to my laptop to get a connection. works great

Your company is so strict! You really cant access any of them? what if you try putting s on http? like this, https://www.... i do this every time they block facebook site and other link sites. But i cant guarantee you that it will work there.

I am really happy to know that you are one of the members of my lot like me...I am interested in it..You have said that you are not only facing problems to open mylot but also gmail,gtalk etc.I am as your friend sorry for your inconvenience from mylot side..According to me this problem is due to network problem or the problems of the system...To get your problem solved you can discuss the specialists and the experienced ones..I hope you will be successful..

Use Proxy!
