Access internet through google?

[martynljones]

Hello everyone.
First off, thanks for a great forum. Ive been lurking for a few months, and now feel the need to post a question for you all.

In work, we use a large Network with XP pro on the desktop pcs. Until last week we had internet access, this has now been taken away. When explorer is started we just get the page not found error.

If google earth is started up though, we can enable the web browser within google earth and surf away quite happily. Im assuming we are using google earth as a proxy server.

Anyway, is there any way to set up a proper browser (explorer or netscape etc) to access the internet through the same method as google earth does?


Many thanks, and forgive my stupidity as Im a newbe to all this.


Cheers,
Martyn

It sounds to me like they've only blocked Internet Explorer from accessing the internet. Have you tried another web browser? Of course this won't do much good if they're using a Deny All, Accept Google earth and etc type of rule set.

Try downloading Firefox.. You DONT need admin level access to install it... But make sure you install it somewhere like my documents/my programs as this directory allows you full access.
