Unblock bebo?

My daughter's Bebo page wasn't showing any images or video, her MySpace and
other pages displaying OK.
She tried a few things including System Restore, Firefox, updating Java,
Windows Update, checking settings for displaying images etc. but nothing
worked.
Then discovered that using something called unblock Bebo she could see it
OK.
Googling this it seem that this works by using a proxy for PC's blocked by
an administrator but why should she need to in the first place, she is the
admin?
Is it possible that it's some setting in Zone Alarm?
She's using XP Pro/SP2.

If she were accessing the internet via connectivity which blocked access
to certain sites, such as a school or work network she is not the admin
for the school/work connectivity interface/firewall, she is only the
admin for her own computer.

If she is not in such a connectivity environment then we need more
information.

It's a home PC, uses a BT home hub for internet connection but no other PC's
connected to it.
Curious as to why it's only her Bebo site which doesn't work, all others do.
She says it stopped working after Bebo made some changes but doesn't know
what they were.
