Configuring Google Anayltics to work with a Company Firewall

Issue

User is behind a company firewall and wanting to use Google Analytics

Solution

According to the Google Documentation:

In order for Google Analytics to generate reports for your corporate intranet usage, your corporate network must be able to reach the ga.js JavaScript file at http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js or https://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js.

If you can reach the above URL using your company Internet connection, you have satisfied the first requirement. Additionally, your intranet must be accessible through a fully qualified domain name such as http://intranet.example.com. The ga.js JavaScript will not work if your intranet can only be accessed using a domain name that is not fully qualified, such as http://intranet.

If this is not reachable and the information must be stored behind a firewall, there is a product called Urchin that lets users do this: http://www.google.com/urchin/
