I suspect the same thing Jeff does. They probably run a transparent proxy that blocks nearly everything. I've had to deal with that where I work too. It stinks for several reasons. The way I've dealt with that in the past is to install webmin/usermin. I rarely needed to do significant work on the machine, so that sufficed. There are a couple other possibilities that would require some work at home, and you don't have to nmap Sony's network (which would probably go completely unnoticed, but isn't likely to be condoned if it *is* noticed). One option is to set up an httpd with ssl enabled, then install one of the "webshell" type programs. The other option is to install VNC and attach to it via https. The latter will allow you to access your desktop and run xterms, whereas the former will require less bandwidth and is easier to set up in general. One more thought, before you invest the effort, check to make sure that you haven't configured your sshd or firewall to only accept connections from specific (blocks of) addresses. It's easy to set something like that up to keep the script kiddies from running their brute-force attacks, and then forget that you have it in there.
