Planning to build an intranet network for your organization? Here is a reality check for you to sink your teeth into. An intranet network, unlike an internet network, is limited to a private network like an institute or an organization. In other words, the extent of an intranet is way smaller than an internet network, and therefore pursues a different approach for its application. Using the same protocols that are used for an internet network, such as HTTP, SMTP and FTP, an intranet network deploys almost all the internet technologies for the setup of a complete information system. For most parts, the primary purpose of an intranet network is the sharing of organizational information and operational tools among the employees. For this purpose, various intranet software are used to facilitate a uniform platform for the distribution of information and work consoles.
But, that’s just one of the purposes that an intranet network finds in a corporate establishment. In most establishments, the purpose of an intranet application is to maintain the daily functions of the organization, track the daily progress, maintain client database, and so on. There is even a growing trend of using the intranet as a forum for employees so they can share their ideas and thoughts with each other and the management. This has given a distinct leverage to the concept of intranet development as a viable revenue builder as well. Companies who are engaged in the business of website development can generate many clients who want to get their intranet network set up. With saleable intranet design and good content, an intranet website can very easily outdo any internet website today. What makes this possible is the immense scope that intranet development offers to all kinds of companies.
Building an intranet network calls for the implementation of some careful strategies for the purpose. A team of efficient website designers and developers can make this possible. Keeping in mind the objectives of the organization and the policies that it has for the employees, the intranet website can be rolled off with the right intranet applications for the task.

There's one major distinction between an intranet and the Internet:
The Internet is an open, public space,a worldwide system of interconnected computer networks.It is a worldwide, publicly accessible series of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a network of networks that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.
The Internet is a combination of several media technologies and an electronic version of newspapers, magazines, books, catalogs, bulletin boards, and much more. This versatility gives the Internet its power.
While an intranet is designed to be a private space. An intranet may be accessible from the Internet, but as a rule it's protected by a password and accessible only to employees or other authorized users.
From within a company, an intranet server may respond much more quickly than a typical Web site. This is because the public Internet is at the mercy of traffic spikes, server breakdowns and other problems that may slow the network. Within a company, however, users have much more bandwidth and network hardware may be more reliable. This makes it easier to serve high-bandwidth content, such as audio and video, over an intranet.
An intranet often gets confused with the Internet. While there are a lot of similarities between them, they really are two different things. Simply put, the Internet is the global World Wide Web, while an intranet is a private Internet operating within a company. Both the Internet and an intranet use TCP/IP protocol as well as features like e-mail and typical World Wide Web standards. One main difference is that users of an intranet can get on the Internet, but thanks to protection measures like computer firewalls, global Internet users cannot get onto an intranet unless they have access to it. In fact, an intranet can be ran without an Internet connection. While Internet technologies like browsers, servers, and chat scripts are still used, an intranet can be a separate entity as long as its owners do not require that users have access to information found on the Internet.
When they were first introduced, intranets were dismissed by critics as the latest in a seemingly endless parade of technological fads and buzzwords. That soon changed when businesses started to realize just how important a tool an intranet can be. A company would want to set up an intranet for many reasons. The broad bandwidths that are used in intranets allow for speedier communication and access to information than the Internet. The private internal networks (such as a LAN) offer security and protection in the form of the aforementioned firewalls as well as password-protected access and secure servers. The use of an intranet allows companies to control their business easier and manage their employees more successfully. Less paperwork, increased productivity, added flexibility, and versatility are other factors that intranet users take advantage of. All of this adds up to a bottom line that is attractive in any business decision: the ability to save money and increase profits.

there are extensive lists of proxys and worm sites on the internet; just keep trying with as many sites as you can.
You may want to talk to the IT managment staff, as they can unblock websites that you want to access.

If you are entitled to access contact their tech support for help. If not I can't imagine why you would need legitimate access to their internal corporate web.

What the hell are you talking about? Seeing as how you've provided zero details as to what kind of software you're using on your intranet, the number of clients, etc, there is no possible way anyone could tell.
Seriously, why do people even bother asking such useless questions? Are we supposed to be psychic or something?

If you are doing web pased reports on your intranet for something I could understand. But for general html you do not really need it installed. Or if you are doing php. Then you can actually install php, mysql and Joomla to create your own php content management system on it.

If you go to Start –> Control Panel –> add and remove programs –> windows components you find it there. Go into the details and install what you ant to have running and it will require the cd to install the application requited for it. And it is that easy.

It is all the same really, because it is all linked to the WWW. An Intranet, however is restricted access, say to a company's employees. It is still part of the big network that is the web. Internet2, is that Web2? This is the internet but more interactive. One person will see a website differently to another, the website/pages are customisable to different visitors logging in. Original web1 pages are static-every visitor sees the same.
