Maybe he'll get off his duff and ressurect White Bison Longbow Company!! then he'll have $$$$$$ and get what he wants. of coarse his first bow would be free to Schuster for all the hogs he has put on him. i luv you HO!

Steve H. · August 28, 2008, 11:23:00 AM

But my next new bow, a "Swampy Rooter" made by Jo-E Buchannon is free for being Jo-E's best friend!

So how does one do this "anonomous proxy" thing?

Tim Fishell · August 28, 2008, 11:27:00 AM

Steve, try the link below. This is using an anonomous proxy.

I'm not sure why, but my wife uses IE on her laptop at work, but when she brings it home she can't use IE, something to do with the security settings the school district has set up. We downloaded Firefox onto it and now she's able to get onto the internet at home. Not sure if that would fix it for you Steve, but it's worth a try.

I have been on the run too much the last few months to try using the "Anonymous Proxy" like Tim F. posted for the link above. I just moved and everything I own is in storage somewhere, it is cold as heck outside so I figured today I would give the "AP" a try so I could see some pics on here for once.

No go, blocked......

There's the problem, your moving around too much :rolleyes: I remember when you lived here with all of the commodities

Good luck on your quest, it's always good to hear from ya.

It could be worse. They could block Tradgang altogether. I know someone this happened to and they ain't a happy camper...

Well, since you are contributing right now, didn't you have a bison tag? What's the scoop? I vaguely remember some conflict with an Iowa deer tag too. How bout YOU share some pictures...

Otherwise I agree with Biggie. Actually, I could use that as my signiture line :D

QuoteI have been working away from home and have only had my work laptop since March and many employers block certain sites such as Photobucket so when it recognizes that format it won't show photos

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to PC's but Terry all ready said it "it's your browser" you are not going through a company server on the road so it's not them. If you post what browser you are using I'm sure one of us can walk you through it.

Musk ox not bison. I did a fall ox hunt and saw ZERO ox after very difficult access. I am going again in the frost box in Feb for round 2. I also went to IA and killed two soybean fed does, of course #2 the last evening before I burned my "buck" tag. I probably saw one or two decent bucks leading up to that last evening....

I can't post photos as sites like Photobucket are blocked too. Actually I am on a "company server" via VPN when I am out of the office. I guess I'll just have to wait another month until my wife gets up here with a different computer....ugggghhhhhhhh.

Steve O · December 14, 2008, 09:14:00 PM

Ahhh, well good luck with round two!

To get my e-mail, I have to go thru a VPN, but I can get onto the internet before I log into the VPN.

Nate Fikkert · December 14, 2008, 10:54:00 PM

Steve,

I have the same issues, so I am sure it is a "work" thing. I am sure all of our IT stuff is the same.

Hey Steve, I haven't seen any musk ox here either! I am having fun though! Hope you don't get anything frostbit! Goodluck.

I'll second the Firefox idea. Slick, free, small memory print and it's not owned by Microsoft. So.... it actually works ! :D

hickstick · December 15, 2008, 08:54:00 PM

its not his browser guys, its its access to the internet. he has to VPN to his companys servers to gain access to the internet, thereby they control what sites can be visited on the computer.

Steve, do you get cell service up yonder? you could add a USB or pc/mcia air card to the laptop and have your own internet service connection?? you then would only have to vpn when you want to connect to your work email servers or company shared drives, etc.

another option is to get a cell with 'air' capabilites like a treo or blackberry, and you could plug the phone into the laptop and use it like a modem.

Tyke · December 15, 2008, 09:32:00 PM

Or maybe, if you asked the IT guys reeeeally nice...

Donnie Earl · December 16, 2008, 04:34:00 AM

Have you considered buying your very own computer and connection? Donnie.

KentuckyTJ · December 16, 2008, 07:34:00 AM

Problem may be with PhotoBucket. If someone post a photo from their bucket account in a thread then moves that photo from it original position (ie put it in another folder in photobucket) the photo will not appear in any thread that had the photo linked to the old position.

buckeye_hunter · December 16, 2008, 08:11:00 AM

I can't get tradgang at work period. It's blocked completely!

When I travel, which has been a LOT this year, it really doesn't make sense to carry a second computer just to see TG photos. My wife has her laptop in WY while she is visting her daughter and we have a "tower" backed away in huge wooden crates is some big warehouse in ANC until we can sell and buy a new house.
