accessing internet using ftp, ping or http

[Smith, Albert]

If it is locked from your network then the only way to get around it
would be to have your network admin put a firewall rule in to allow
these machines access that they need or put them on a privileged
network.

	Subject: accessing internet using ftp, ping or http
	
	
	Hi,
	 
	I have a problem accessing the ftp, ping  from some machines
(some 3 of them) from a subnet.
	 
	I am told that the particular subnet has access restrictions
which causes ftp, ping etc to fail.
	 
	I have RHEL v3 installed on the machines. Is there a way I could
use the above protocols to access internet.
	This is causing problem as I cannot download software directly
to the machine and configure it using tools provided
	by many of those software. one example is CPAN modules.
	 
	Even linux updates I cannot get directly.
	Within the intranet I am able to use all the protocols like ftp,
ping, http etc.
	I hear there is some software that can overcome this
restriction, although I do not know what they are.
	 
	Please help.
	 
	thanks
	Pankaj
