Bypasing a firewall ay? Well unless the firewall is perfect (which i dought) you carn't.

Other wise you will have to know what Firewall it is and google for security holes in the fiewall. 
The other option is to find a way to shut the firewall down, or run some kind of server that gives you nessasery access 
that will operaet through WinPcap.

Most firewalls are easyily defeated by winPcap including the very populare Zone Alarm, although the user will get a 
popup saying "program is trying to act as a server" even if they press deny it will still have compleat access (in 
theory).

Of course for the WinPcap trick to work the client PC must alredy have WinPcap insalled, and then you have to find (or 
write) a program that will operat through winPcap and put that on the client PC.
