    Try this:
    Code:
    chmod 755 <name of et bin>
    This will give everyone read/execute access. From here, try to execute the et installer.

    If your boss is trying to block your internet, perhaps you shouldn't surf on company time. We can't help you with things that could be considered illegal.
