simple question (i think)

my computer at work has internet explorer but all the sites are blocked by "sonicwall" filter system. how can i undo this block and surf the web? any help would be appreciated, even if you just tell me where to redirect my question.

This is probably something installed by the company or somthing like that, the ones at my work for the most part are this way as well. I don't really think there's a way around this, plus they'll probably find out it was your IP address, and usually bad things follow...

Sonicwall is there for a very important reason. It's a complete internet security package. If you really have to access something for a legitimate work-related reason, then I'm sure the IT Tech guys at your place of work would add the website to the safe-list. Otherwise I'd better wait until you get home.
