First off, I would like to ask WHY you're trying to get onto bNet when you're at work... and yes, probably blocked by the company. Just like certain websites aren't accessible (like addictinggames or mofunzone or something un-explecit).

ports could be blocked, firewall might be stopping it

how to solve this, you could try http://portforward.com/
not sure how that would affect the rest of your network though

either way, you should probably not play it anyway, that is if you want to keep your job

its your work blocking you you cant do a thing about it unless you have access to your works network settings, and if you mess with those and get caught you will get in trouble

School/company firewall so stupid. You can easily get around that.

I loled at that one. But is there really a problem with your boss wanting you to Work for your money instead of playing DotA?

Good buddies, making money is much more important than having fun, especially in the times that America's economy is about to go to hell.
