Hi everyone, The IT department of my college has recently taken the concept of secure internet to the next level, where it happens to cross the limit between what is sensible and utterly absurd. Basically, in order to connect to the internet from my room I had to install Bradford Persistent Agent along with other "internet security" applications which monitor my traffic and block a variety of websites that the IT department considers a security liability. Moreover, the security software has significantly slowed down my ageing machine. So I bought a brand new laptop with the aim of sharing my connection on the old machine with the new machine, which would in theory circumvent the need to install those internet security applications on the new machine. Sorry for such a long intro, I'm just furious. I have a wired connection and a wireless card on the old machine and I have set up an ad-hoc wireless connection to the new machine. To my great disappointment I've just discovered that as soon as I enable the network sharing, my internet connection is shut down by Bradford Persistent Agent. What alternatives do I have? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Valeria
