What do you mean by "guess at"?  Can you not examine the settings of the
browser?  What kind of browser is it, what is it running on and how do
you get access to it?  That information is needed to give you a good
answer.

If they have locked things down well enough, your only option may to be
to find some way to provide the access you want through a web server.

Note: you have to consider how much information you want to give about
the network in your workplace.  If your employers discover that you are
handing out inside information about the network structure (and with the
aim of subverting it) then they may consider that a sackable offence.
