Im using a broadband conection. The ISP has a proxy, for security reasons (they say). THey allow conections on port 80 only and there is no way they give access to any other port, even socks. THe service is free so I can't complain.
Now, I can use ICQ, MSN -can send and receive files-, Yahoo Mssger, and even do ftp with Total Commander (HTTPS proxy as setting) and using the IP, not a domain as address, thou I can't do ftp with any other client...
Well, I know many will say Im nuts or "go read the FAQs"...
It's ok, I did it. But may be someone found a way to solve a problem like this. So I give it a try.
For ilustrative purposes, my IE settings are:
Use proxy
address 10.2.0.x port 80
(with login and pass)

I advice: I DO have permission from the ISP to chat , ftp,
or whatever. Just they wont allow other port than 80.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
