I called Websense support last night. They claimed the
problem was with FW1. If so, why did they release
faulty software?
In any case, I was told to re-install Websense. I have
done that, but this problem continues.
If anyone finds a solution, please share with the
list. I will do the same.
Thanks -- Chris
