    Do it from home. I suspect that your system may be blocking sites like that. Besides, you shouldn't be spending work time on that.

    You'd have to go the IT administrator in your office and ask them to unblock the ports for Limewire on the office firewall. Chances of them doing this are about next to none though.

    Why do you need Limewire at the office? We might be able to suggest alternatives to what you want to achieve.

    thanx
    You weren't paying attention were you? As LT asks, why would you need it in the office? If you have a legitimate need then talk to your IT people.

    If you try to get around their security measures you could be fired. Therefore, it would be unethical for us to help you get around their precautions.
