tech question

If work has blocked a website from viewing, would it still be ping-able from the work computers?

I can't connect to AIM through any AIM program I've tried... but the server that Trillian says it can't reach, login.oscar.aol.com, I can ping and traceroute to fine. Hrm. I'm wondering if work has blocked something so AIM can't be used from the computers here...

Anyone else you can ask if they have problems with it (that you trust anyhow) sounds like that is what they did - may have to wait until tomorrow though just to see for sure if it works or not, granted a friend of mine in FL does know how to get it to work through a web based way if you want I can email him and ask him how to go about doing it, that way it's open through a website and it wouldn't be an actual application on the desk top - assuming he still has the ability to do that.

I have tried two different web-based AIM clients and neither of them has worked.
