LUCKY YOU!!! Firewalls can be troublesome. I assume this firewall is protecting your school network. Usually most firewalls enable advanced user to configure the software to enable access.

Need to give them the necessary specs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "r.loxley" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 8:48 AM Subject: Interactive teaching > I have ben told that I am going to be given the opportunity to trial an > interactive whiteboard here next year.
