View Full Version : Why can't I access control panel or web mail at work?

I am unable to access my control panel or webmail via http://mydomain/webmail while at work. Is this a port 2095 issue? They really only block sex/porn sites from us here at work, so it's weird. I've never had a problem accessing anything else. Since we are using some sort of corporate firewall, is there any way I can get access by adjusting some setting(s) on my local machine?

They probably have port 2082 blocked. Check with your IT guys

Not 2095? I ask because http://mydomain/webmail resolves to http://mydomain:2095/webmail/bluehost/

And would it be incoming, outgoing or both that they are blocking?

OH sorry, 2082 is cPanel, yes web mail is on 2095. If it's blocked, you'll probably want incoming and outgoing opened. I'm not a pro when it comes to port configuration.

If you can't get them opened, then you can either move your mail to google or install your own web mail client.

What do you mean by "move your mail to google"?

Google will host your email for free. You get all the benefits of using gmail, but it's with your own domain. You still keep your web hosting here, but your mail is hosted with Google. Check this out, http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/admins/editions_spe.html
