Try using a proxy server such as http://www.cooltunnel.com/

What is it about a forum to do with asnwering questions on C# that made you think we were likely to answer a question on evading your school's security policy?

I dont know! This is my first time on this website so, i didn't know which topic to click on! SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok let me rephrase then:
what was it about a website devoted to programming for the windows platform that made you think here was a good website to ask?
Seriously, you shouldnt be doing this - and certainly not just to check your email. Wait till you get home from school and use your PC at home or failing that im sure there's an internet cafe somewhere near your house.
We don't discuss hacking here. There are whole websites devoted to it if you really want to find out more!

Take a look around the site at the articles and the forums. This site is dedicated to developing software.
The reaction you got was because you made the basic mistake of not posting your question in the right forum, which is a big no-no (as you found out). Things became heated because somebody else jumped into the thread to try and criticise members for pointing this out - those of us that he tried to have a go at have been members of this site for a very long time, some are even MVPs, and we are a pretty tight crowd, so things got ugly quickly. Still, when all is said and done, welcome aboard and I hope that this little incident doesn't put you off one of the most vibrant places on the web.
Oh, if you are ever unsure of posting etiquette on the site, this[^] might help.

People come here looking for information, if you have the knowledge just give people it.

So, following your logic, the forums should just be a free for all. They are purposely divided so that people with appropriate skills can help without needing to wade through mountains of irrelevant topics.

Nope - the forums have a particular etiquette, and this should be followed by ALL users. See the very first topic in this[^] article.

So you would deny someone an answer because they are in the wrong forum? Thats pathetic, it's because of people like you that people like me can't find their answers. Give the guy a break it's not like he wants to break the firewall to look up porn!

I would. I would tell people what forum they should use, and look to answer it there. We have more than one forum for questions precisely so that people can go to the right forum, for their own good as much as anything ( people who ask standard C++ questions in the C++/CLI forum, for example, have far fewer people look at their question, which doesn't help them get an answer ). Where the question is totally out of scope for the site, I'd try to suggest another site, unless the question was 'how do I break into my school', then I'd accept that I can't know why someone wants to do something illegal, and plain not help them do it.

Nope - it's because of people like you that you can't find the answers. The whole point about posting into the right forum is that it helps you get answers, and it helps others to find answers to questions that have already been answered.
An analogy - you are in the supermarket and want to buy some ice cream. Would you rather that the staff just chucked all of the goods out onto the floor, or do you prefer to be able to look in an aisle that contains frozen desserts? Don't get huffy because we have standards on the boards.

Get over youself. Everyone answering questions here does so in their free time and owes you nothing.
I whacked a few searches into google for UPNP and timeout and got thousands upon thousands of results. The top 5 or so (as always) looked useful even if some did refer to the CE framework. I didnt bother replying to your stupid offer of money  as moost people find a reply of STFW rude!
Now don't go telling us how to format a response to an irrelvant question. Those of us who replied do so to hundreds of these stupid questions monthly. We also help the ones who ask decent intelligent questions and are patient and friendly.

So, should a shop dedicated to selling computer games start selling milk because someone demands it? No, the person who needs the milk would be directed to the supermarket at the other end of the mall.
Should I whine and complain to Prof. Stephen Hawking if I can't find anything about chocolate cake in a book about quantum mechanics?

He's been told where to go to get his answer. Just like the guy who wants to buy milk in the computer game shop.

That has FAR more to do with your own abilities than it does our own motiviations for not answering.

What did he say that lead you to believe that? You have absolutely no idea what he's going to do when/if he gets around the firewall.
Besides, unless the IP address of the machine he's using is routable on the open 'Net, it's impossible for him to "get around" the firewall.

I'm sorry but a Firewall is there for a reason. If you are having problems then you need to speak to the infrastructure administrators to see about them opening ports for you.

You could try the loop back address which is http://127.0.0.1/, this will allow you to connect to the router setup page but there will be more than likely username and password security on it, the default for most hardware is username:admin and password:password, but if the networks administrator has any common sense it will be changed. None the less, it's worth a try.

Congratulations, if this works, you've helped this guy hack into his school. Do you really think that's wise ?
