ssh called from c/l , vnc is a standalone executable.
should be possible to get around the lockdown.

Tutorial somewhere?
Sounds like it might be doable.

Simple matter of port forwarding.
VNC is operable by web browser in the port range 980X....where X is the display number of the vnc session...starting at :1. It creates the X session for forwarding in the 580X range. So what you need to do is forward the session on local machine port 580x to the appropriate port on the localhost machine (at work).
So here's how I do it. (assume you are vnc display :1)
From office machine, I ssh to the home machine with the command
ssh2 -L 5802:localhost:5801 <serveraddress> -l <login name>
This sends the vnc session on port 5801 to the localhost port 5802...then I start the vnc viewer and tell it to connect to localhost:2.
Voila.
Depending on the speed of connections, you may want to run a lighter window manager (like XFCE) to make the connection...and also limiting the color depth and/or display geometry when starting the vnc session. For example, set 8 bit color and an 800x600 display by command vncserver -depth 8 -geometry 800x600
All of this easily found in the documentation of VNC.

Putty for a windows box, then...
And if not windows, then doesn't OS X have ssh? And aren't ther VNC clients and servers for it?

Not that
"you may want to run a lighter window manager (like XFCE) to make the connection"
I read that as using a light window manager from work. Which isn't exactly an option on a locked-down XP box.

Ah.
I read that as the wm that vncserver used on the target box...

Poor bastard
My new job starts in a week.
100% Windows.
The entire company MUST access the web via the MS Proxy server.
I'm bringing in the 1st Linux server, 1st Linux desktop, and I get to setup my Win laptop at will.
There will be an SSH Linux bounce box placed on the DMZ for me. I get full admin access. ssh and https redirected in, unlimited ports going out. Any thing I need for redirection is allowed.
The MS centric "security" guy was coughing up blood at that point.

Nice.
But remember what you said a long time ago:

Enjoy your new toys, but don't get stuck in a rut. :-)

Ground zero start
Just like I did 11 years ago.
Design, build, implement, grow.
Hire an admin to take over the systems.
Hire a programmer.
Hire a project manager.
Grow some more.
etc, etc, etc.

Almost possible for me...
The problem is getting out past $LGC's firewall. Any ideas? (I too amy saddled with Windows, although I do have occasional access to a Linux box...)
I'ts interesting. $LGC doesn't block slashdot, except for the games forum....

I've gotten enough tech help from here that my boss told the admins not to block it when they brought it up with him.

There's also AvantGo if you don't need to reply.
[link|http://www.avantgo.com|http://www.avantgo.com] lets you download web pages to a PDA. Every morning you could dump a forum or two onto a cheap Palm device and read at your leisure.
When I last played with it with IWeThey there were substantial limitations, but it might stave off the DTs if you're desperate. Of course, you won't be able to reply to posts with this setup.
Avantgo now handles [link|http://avantgo.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/avantgo.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php?p_sid=j3CopTRh&p_lva=&p_li=&p_page=1&p_prod_lvl1=&p_prod_lvl2=&p_cat_lvl1=&p_search_text=RSS&p_new_search=1&p_search_type=search_fnl|RSS feeds] as well, so if/when the new IWeThey software can do that with the forums we'll probably have more options.
Cheers,
Scott.

Re: So they noticed IWT is a forum
[link|http://torpark.nfshost.com/|http://torpark.nfshost.com/]
Torpark is based on Firefox and Tor, it can run off of a USB device, and I think it does not need to be installed. Your surfing will go out over the Tor/Onion network, and I am not sure what your administrators will see, but they cannot block all Tor addresses. You can always ask for a new Tor address.
Still surfing at work is a bit unethical and against IT usage policies, use at your own risk.
