We have a WPA with EAP (PEAP, MSCHAPv2) WLAN. Must add proxy to surf the internet.

Is there sth I can do, or that is, only internet and no IM or email?

Thanks
I assume by "internet" you mean "world wide web". It sounds like they block outgoing access, and web works because it goes over the proxy. I would guess you are out of luck here, unless you set up some http tunnel... but that's almost certainly against your company policies.

Better solution is probably to use GPRS... of course your mobile operator could block things as well (on T-Mobile USA i can't use Skype or Google Voice, for example)
