Tunneling out from firewall?

GTwannabe
I'd like to set up a tunnel out of this heavily firewalled school network. Anonymizer. com looks like it has a decent service, anybody use it? Or maybe suggest a similar company that offers a free trial period to test it out?.

Can you network a 98 machine to an XP one?

markjs
I spent several hours trying, and thought it to be impossible (I have successfully set up 98 to 2k, 98 to ME etc. and XP to XP networks with no problems) after many hours of headache, frustration and zero progress.

Unable to finish download with download managers

violent
well, this is a bit strange, until I had win2k everything was fine. . . but then I decided to switch to XP which is GREAT except for this 1 thing: I use Download Accelerator Plus 5, Reget, Flashget - and not one of them is able to finish downloads WHEN IT COMES TO BIG FILES (> 500 mb).
