can you change your LAN settings or you have a fixed IP? What is about your internet access? Is there is any proxy in the company to connect to to have internet access?
It is strange, but how do you supply Proxy servers and access the internet through it? While they are blocking your YM then I guess they are using an ISA server or a proxy to block it. If your company is using ISA server, then they still can track you regardless of the fact using those, they still can track you especially if you are using 8080 port.
Regarding YM, did you try another protocol? Like MSN is Http based so if it works with you, then YM should work also if you are using Http. try using Socks proxy and supply 1080 as the port and try.
Meebo is good and works most of the time, but easy with ISA to add this URL of Meebo to the black list and it is gone.
