I'm afraid I have to side with the IT guys/company owners. You're there
to work, not chat. It's my machinery so to speak, if you want to chat
go to a cybercafe for lunch. Too many issues about proper use of
company time and equipment let alone the number of denizens looking for
somebody to dns and then try to hack the system later, not to mention
potential DOS attacks.
Want to take those risks, my reply would be do it with your own system,
not mine.

For our company, that would be considered destruction of company
property and would be a terminable offense.
