You need to find a way to tunnel all other protocols over whatever is allowed out of your network via the proxy server or firewall.

I myself just ssh to my home systems over port 80, and then tunnel all other traffic through that ssh connection, to a VM I have setup at home as a gateway. Probably will do the same with the N900 once I get my hands on it.
I thing you are referring to transparent proxy? No we don't have that enabled in our network ( and am not the network admin). did you follow the bug report I posted? AFAIK its a bug because trying to use jabber protocol with the default IM ignores the settingwide proxy settings and tries to connect to the internet directly.
