STANDARD WEB ACCESS:
    The Registration process accesses through HTTP the same channel used by 
    Web Browsers. Most Firewalls allow access to Port 80 (the standard HTTP 
    Port), so access to the Registration service should NOT be a problem.
    (Normally) However, we have found out that some ISP Providers do not 
    allow access to this Standard Port. Earthlink is one of them, also 
    boasting the most stringent security. 

    If your Firewall doesn't allow Web Access through Port 80, your only 
    option is to use the Workaround (using a different Computer) or convince
    your network administrator to configure the Firewall to enable Internet
    web access. If you are in a Public Domain such as Government, Educational
    Organization etc. this would be a problem. 


WEB ACCESS THRU A PROXY SERVER:
    Some Firewalls require you to access Port 80 through a Proxy Server. 
    Your network administrator will provide you the address of the proxy 
    server, and occasionally a username and password are required by the 
    proxy server. Consult the Help or Manual for the software application 
    you are using to find out where to configure the Internet Access and 
    enter these proxy settings.
