sonicwall

Just a thought. Grab the HTTP headers from a WinBLOWS box and copy the
user agent to your browser's. I suspect this software adds something to
the user agent of the browser that SonicWall checks for and if you can
have Lynx or Konq lie about having it, then all is good.

If I can get it to work great, if not I can get no support from the office. I have been using Konquerer and ran into a blank wall, no net access. I tried Lynx and got a message that I needed to download and install sonic wall anti virus, but I couldn't do that with Lynx.
