Company firewall. I have no rights over the admin of this

Ok. got that

Or, it is my firewall that is screwing up things

ok. I checked the complete output and had more cases like this.
I'm sending you the entire output by direct mail.

When U see the complete output you will see some more cases like this
Is there a way to solve this problem ? (i.e.) if it is the firewall
screwing up my tests
note : I understand you've give me a series of command line
options below. I'll be firing those today. But AFAI can see I
need to crack a way to do the test 13 , since Test 13 along with
test 0 seem to be the most important *for me*
..........
>copy config-User1.xml temp0.xml
Please see if you can reply to the addl. questions included in
<//www.freelists.org/archives/nocensorship/12-2003/msg00029.html>
- I'd like to what all configs come *pre-configured* and how to use
them in different situations
- Further the error messages when I try to start LP are
also included in the above REVISED message
What configs to use while using a LAN ?
>copy config-User1.xml temp0.xml
>copy hosts.xml temp1.xml
>perl statProxy.pl -p -t 0:13 -l Freerklist.txt
>perl mergeHosts.pl statProxy.2003.12.29.?.out config-User1.xml
>copy config-User1.xml hosts.xml
>perl extractHosts.pl outputFile.txt isEnabled doesNotPassIPAddressThrough
><speed term, etc...>
>copy temp1.xml hosts.xml
>copy temp0.xml config-User1.xml
I'll run exactly these
But here again test 13 may fail
So what are the alternatives ?
- Check from outside the firewall (i.e.) dialup .. etc.
connection
- some other tests that you can recommend ?
Thanks as always
