Secure internet tunnelling?

[GTwannabe 0]

The school network that I use has banned "Napster and Napster-like programs." Networking monitors the ports that those programs use. Basically, no download utility programs for me or I'll get kicked off the network.

 

I work with someone that has a cable modem that's idle during the day. Is there some tunnelling program that could allow me to set up a secure connection to the cable modem and then out thru the internet?

http://www.htthost.com/ will do what you want. I've used it for similar purposes to give me access to IRC, telnet and POP mail.
