I have tried every port imaginable to get a feed to my office pc. I checked with an IT friend, and he says we use Websense to halt access to many websites. Is Websense stopping me from slinging to my office? Can I work around it?
Can you work around it? Well, where there is a will there is a way.
Is it a good idea? I am not so sure. That box is worth a LOT of money, and if you company decided to spend it on Websense, maybe they are serious about security. So, by trying to get around you might be looking for trouble.
VPN and SSH forwarding are two possibilities.

if running websense, they prob require you to auth to get out? Is there a proxy? slingplayer understands both socks4 and 5 and https.
My company uses websense, an I assure you their are plenty of ways around it ;)
You state you have tried every port? Well can you surf the web at all? If so then we no 80 is open. Can you go to https pages, then we KNOW 443 is open.
443 is encrypted - so its very hard for them to do layer 7 filtering on. Just have your router listen on 443 an forward to your sling on 5001
Then setup your player to connect directly to your routers public ip on port 443.
Your only issues is if you have to auth to get out.
