Gentleman, This is VERY off topic, but it is a Q for guru's and when I think of web guru's I think of my fellow apache module developer. If I am totally out of line asking this here, please be a kind sole and give me some guidance as to where I should be asking this question, fore I know not where to ask other then here...
There is this web site I like to frequent. For some reason it has blocked my main workstation from being aloud to post on it. When I login with the same user id/password on any other machine, including virtual machines I am able to post with no problem. Initially I thought it was blocking based on cookies. But both IE7 and Firefox are blocked on the same box. Then I thought it was blocking based on IP address, but my current network is behind a OpenBSD firewall running NAT and any other machine behind the firewall is able to post just fine. Then I thought it was something else that was browser specific, until I just installed the Safari client on the main workstation and the first attempt to post with that browser was ALSO blocked! I even when so far as to think it might be using both the firewall's IP address and the internal IP address of the workstation, so I changed the internal IP address, still blocked, even though virtual machines and other real machines behind the firewall/NAT server post just fine. So I am completed stumped, how is this site blocking my one workstation? What piece of info being sent to the web server by all three browsers that is a common, unique per OS instance? Oh, I am running Win XP SP2. Sam
