I am not tech savvy, however, since you didn't get any responses I thought I would research it for you. Here's what I found:

According to trap17.com this is how you access the internet:
1. Create a new text file that says: @start "" /b "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" %*
2. Rename the file "e.bat"
3. Copy this file to your profile folder
4. Open a command prompt window and type "e" followed by a URL of a website you want to go to. For example, if you wanted to go to Mahalo you would type (without the quotes): "e www.mahalo.com"
I haven't tried this myself, so hopefully it works.

To unblock websites try http://www.mathtunnel.com/ apparently at this site you can just type in the url of any website you want to unlock. No command prompt necessary.
Or you can try these two command prompt tricks from http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4885
Trick 1: (In this example www.mahalo.com stands for the url of the website you want to unblock.)
1. Open the command prompt
2. Type: ping www.mahalo.com
3. Copy the IP next to "Reply From"
4. Paste the IP into your address bar.

Trick 2: (In this example www.mahalo.com stands for the url of the website you want to unblock.)
1. Open command prompt and notepad.
2. Write "ping localhost" without the "" into the command prompt.
3. Copy the IP into the notepad file, hit tab and write localhost
4. In the command prompt write: ping www.mahalo.com
5- Copy the IP of the site into the notepad file, hit tab and write the link to the site, without http://, as in "www.google.com"
6- Hit enter and repeat step 5, should look like this
00.00.0.00 localhost
000.000.00.00 www.website.com
000.000.00.00 www.website.com

7. Save the notepad file into your desktop as "host."
8. Go to My Computer>Your Hardrive>WINDOWS>system32>drivers>ect and drag the notepad file into that folder.

Just in case those tips don't work, I also found you a couple video tutorials:
YouTube: Unblock that blocked site!

YouTube: How to Unblock School Websites

I hope this helps!
