Is that done on the client side (home PC) or on the host side?  If I show
your response to the network admin, is this something he should be able to
understand?  Could have it been done deliberately for "more security" or
somesuch?

I mentioned the restrictions because I was trying to point out that I
wouldn't be able to surf the web from work.  I currently have no need to
access the other parts of our network from home.
