Doesn't the software offer some www interface, you might need to
ask the guys in charge to please switch it on.

You have already circumvented the "company" policy/firewall with
the Linux box with interfaces on both LANs. Might be worth firing
you depending on the local security policy once someone gets
aware of it. Honestly, if the ip you are using to post is real,
you shouldn't even think about it.

Good luck
