Firewall blocking ports

The firewall where I work is blocking all addresses with port numbers. Is there a way to get around this so I can listen to some music??

Try the Request2 stream.
It's a different port number than the one I.T. Nazis usually block.

Thanks, but that doesn't work
Looks like anything with a port number doesn't work...so I guess that pretty much blocks me from any streaming music. Grrrrrrr.

that's probably something to talk to your IT department about. They have to have some ports open for normal internet traffic. But, they probably block all other ports. you can see if they'll open up one of the ports we use for you, but that's up to your company policy...
if nothing else, just listen at home...
