Training Video Issue

[BorgWarnerNVH]

Anyone else having trouble viewing the Adobe Flash training video's behind a firewall?  I cannot seem to view any of the video's here at work, but they appear fine at home.

Any idea's on how I can get these to work?

The videos work fine for me and we have a pretty strict network policy.  Our IT people are well aware of NI.com though so it's allowed.  Talk to your IT dept...

I can only suggest to talk to your IT crowd.. good luck!

My company blocks them too because they are detected as "Multimedia Streaming" and blocked by the Barracuda Web Filter.

"Multimedia streaming" is only a technology, a technology in itself is not good or bad, only the use one makes of it can be good or bad. When "multimedia streaming" is used to learn about LabVIEW, it is stupid to block it.

Tell that to your Barracuda Web Filter!

Yep - I submitted a help ticket - but Corporate IT is not exactly the fastest thing in the world. 

I was hoping for a quick fix (i.e. add as trusted site, cookie accept, et, al) but I've not had any luck on my own and was hoping another user had the solution.

Try the LabView training at Connexions 

I have found the these viedos produced with CAMTASTA manage to slip through my companies web filter.

My IT Guy says it an issue with NI wanting port 1935 open in order for the video's to run.  Our firewall is blocking that port.  Now why can't they just use normal http ports for these video's?
