Cant connect from work! (Still)

OK, I have looked over the entire internet it seems like!

I cannot play freelancer from my work computer! I have asked my boss's office techs and they have no idea how to configure freelancer to work through in the office!

The office runs through a stupid proxy, and any program that access the internet must be configured to use it. Or there is not internet.

I have read the microsoft manuals, and looked online for hours on how to set freelancer to run through my work proxy, nothing!

Does anyone know, or know where there is documentation on where/how to get my freelancer to work while at work?

And before you say, dont play from work play at home.

As I stated before, I have zero time to play from home. But I have fairly decent work breaks and my boss said I could play while on my break.

I will still continue to work on my game's settings and see what I can find.
But if anyone knows what I can do to let me play while I work I would be eternaly thankfull!

AFAIK you can not play FL through a proxy connection. However if you can get your netadmins at work to configure you a NAT, MASQ or ICS connection you should have no problems, just tell them you need to have UDP traffic IN and OUT and they should know what to do. Hope this helps.
