The thing about bess is that its an outside entity. its not really aparrt of your system. i just recently found that out. the trick is to connect to another server and access the web from there, because bess only checks outgoing data from your schools server (this i found out, does not include pings). one way to temporarily bypass bess is to go to the sites IP instead of URL. you can find this by going
>>start
>>run
>>ping [url of site you wish to visit]
this will give you the sites IP address - you simply type this in the browser bar and viola. however, bess has recently been configured to catch this, so i cant guaruntee it will work. Also, for a more effective way - find a server site you can bunce from, and save the page in case it gets blocked here are some:
nhuanet.com
nadaily.com
eopledaily.com
ns.ditchyourip.com
cn.servep2p.com
also, doing a google search for these sites, and looking long enough typically will produce more and more sites you can use.
the most effective way would be, however, (i have not tried this yet), to set up a VPN with shared internet connection on your home computer, then connect to it through the school. i dont believe bess checks networking connections, because of the sheer difficulty in determining school, internet, home protocols, etc etc. however remember that if you set it thru your home computer, your speeed will become that of your home computer. and if your on dial up, it has to be on ALL THE TIME. ando two more things - if you bounce, you cant download files, because it will DL from the bouncing server but if you connect to your home properly as stated waywayway above, you can transfer your own files. and finally - home connections (i believe, require) windows XP. any other school networking Q's?

PS this is completely legal, as long as you dont copy the schools files to your computer or any other location.
this i swhat i think about school network security
