Facebook IP Problem

[MDP91]

Ok,

So my college block facebook, but today I used a portable version of firefox and pinged facebook to get its IP, then entered that into the URL. It connected which was great ! However......when you login it just comes up with:

Address Not Found
login.63.186.12 could not be found. Please check the name and try again.
The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.
* Did you make a mistake when typing the domain? (e.g. "ww.mozilla.org" instead of
"www.mozilla.org")
* Are you certain this domain address exists? Its registration may have expired.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check your network connection and DNS server settings.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

Any ideas on how I can get past this? I tried it on my home PC and the same happens. I can get to the facebook home page, but thats it?

anyone...?

The firewall could well be blocking all internet traffic which is not going through the proxy. Can you access any sites?

 

[MDP91]

yea... like google

try using a "facebook proxy" just type it in google

 

[MDP91]

yea, but my college use Bloxx, so ANY proxy sites or any sites with Proxy in the name or description are blocked.

If portable firefox is still going through BLOXX, then it doesn't matter what IP or address you type in, as soon as the facebook code goes through, it will be blocked. BLOXX reads the coding of pages and not only URLS.

To go back to your other thread;

I'd say you were f**ked personally.

haha, ok, its only because I managed to connect to facebook by entering the IP.
