And why exactly do you want to do this?

There is at least one answer on this page:
http://www.faqfarm.com/Q/How_do_you_...rnet_filtering

That answer is: be an administrator of your system.

Which probably means: if you can't get admin ID&pw (legitimately or illegitimately) you are OOL.

Of course you could google (bess internet blocking) yourself, but another page discusses:

http://peacefire.org/censorware/BESS/

and has a link for "those wanting to disable BESS"

They go on to say:
"How to disable 'Bess, the Internet Retriever'

First try to access
http://www.StupidCensorship.com/
If your admin hasn't updated their Bess blocked-site list yet, you can use that site to get around Bess.

If that site is blocked, then follow the instructions on Peacefire's page, setting up a circumventor. You can set up the "circumventor" program on your computer, and it will give you a URL that you can use to bypass Bess wherever you go."
