Thanks for all the detailed information but I think I'm SOL. Squid, SSH
certainly sounds like the way to go both for security and for port
issues but I think my companies security might trump it. I ran a port
check (https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 and
http://www.whatsmyip.org/ports/) and all ports are blocked (or stealth
per grc). I'm sure it's some form of security that's beyond my
knowledge but my outside IP address as seen by these sites is different
from the IP address I see when I run ipconfig. Anyway, even port 22 for
SSH isn't opened so I guess I'm out of luck.

What I still don't understand is how I can see and control my server
despite the security measures. Isn't that port 80? Port 80 shows as
blocked too but I can still control the server. I recall reading about
a trick with router port forwarding to port 80, or something like that.
I guess I'll have to see if that works...

At least my wife is enjoying this. Her work is less secure and the mp3
streaming to winamp is working fine for her. :)
