Checking the headers of VinDogg's message, I see
it comes from Comcast, so there is no possible way you
could have been able to put on on your employer, by
surfing the web through your home PC, without
getting your cable access terminated. When Comcast
was here, before AT&T, with @Home, they were
extremely strict about servers, especially proxy servers.
Comcast did scan, and quite often, for open proxy/news
servers, on a lot of common ports. So there is no
POSSIBLE way you could have surfed the web,
from your work pc, through your home PC, without
having your Comcast service terminated. Remote
access, via FTP, or PcAnywhere, is acceptable,
but open proxy servers are not, on Comcasts
cable internet.
