I can get on fine from home, using the same PC. Looks like it's definitely an IT at work issue...
Alternatively, if your firm blocks third-party proxies and "anonymizing sites" (which it should do if it is serious about making sure that its censorware is not circumvented), or if these proxy sites don't properly handle cookies, you might also consider bypassing the firm's network altogether by bringing in your own laptop and either (1) logging onto your current ISP through your cellphone (assuming that you have a dialup account and your cellphone plan has a sufficient amount of extra minutes for you to use it for daytime surfing)*, or (2) subscribing to your wireless provider's data network.

*This is not idle theorizing as I have applied option (1) in order to surf the web while on a picnic in Central Park.
