WTF...over

[Furnace]

Can someone please tell me if this website has some kind of built in filter to keep business ip's from getting in. I try every morning at work to get into the site but it wont let me, and I dont remember it doing this till they changed whatever it was a few weeks back. Practical machinist wont let me in either. Thanks

F is for fudge

You have it backwards...something your employer IT guy has done won't let you in, nothing Pracical Machinist is doing.

Maybe they think you are IOWOLF and don't want you in.

F is for Furnace,

are you sure it isn't your employer keeping you out? i know folks who access the site from a business account.

I am the admin...somehow I got put in charge of the computers where I work. No one is allowed to change anything on them but me and I leave all the internet settings on the default just for the ease of the maintenance. I have not done a thing to the settings either. We have a business DSL connection and thats why I was wondering if the site had some kind of filter. Hell I dont know, thats why Im askin. I used to check the site ever morning at work then after the change I cant get in. Sucks too, I have a brand new 13x40 lathe and a brand new 8x36 mill at work and I want to ask questions about setting them up right. And getting paid while asking questions and learnng machining, which is all I do at home, is too sweet to not ask this question. City want pay for me to get any kind of school, so you fellas is all I got.

Very unlikely since they would not know if the ip address was a business or not. This is the normal way of looking up an ip address, it only gives the location and the isp. http://www.arin.net/whois/ It is handy for the looking up the origin of scam and junk e-mails such as the address 218.58.93.122 from a "local bank" reply to my requested loan. I think I would remember the loan application even with the current meds.


I would try to login again tomorrow.

It might help if you put in your post what kind of message you're getting when the sites "won't let you in" and what browser you're using.

That info might make it possible for Don or someone else to give you a hint on what the problem is.

Do you actually know anything about the current setup? Is the hosts file being delivered at boot time by a policy server and if so what does it contain?

Mochinist, I would kindly ask you to refrain from doing what I have done in the past.
