Is there a dos command or other trick that could give me some information such as if I'm behind a firewall at my job. I did a trace route to the internet and I know what addresses I travel along the path. Thanks.
 
well, you're asking "if" you're behind a firewall. i would hope so. can you ping your gateway (router's public IP) while outside the network? no? then you're behind a firewall. now, how good of a firewall? thats left unsaid. good luck!

p.s. do you want to give me the IP so I can check it? ;-)
