I've made a script that opens your cd drive, but it's being blocked by the firewall...
Is there a way to bypass te firewall?

Here id the script:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection
if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
do
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next ' cdrom
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next ' cdrom
loop
End If
</SCRIPT>

Please respond...

AWTJ

Status: offline 		This used to work back in the Windows 98, IE 5 days. But today that is a security issue, and is prevented by all modern browsers. Convince the client to lower their security settings or run it from the computer as an HTA or a script file. This is not a very kosher script, and was part of a larger security hole in IE in the past.

And if the firewall is blocking your script in the first place, to disable it you would have to run a script that would access the OS, which would also be blocked by the firewall.
Kind of a chicken-n-egg thing...
