[H] White list or black list?
I need to limit which web pages multiple business computers can go to. What is the file that does this? I want to limit IE to around 12 sites the business needs for insurance and their page and a couple of medical research sites. I've done a google on whitelist but it comes up with programs that can or can't be run. Mark MD Computers, Houston, TX
[H] server died again!
Can anyone decode this BSOD, or, point me to which part of it to google for more info? ***Stop: 0x007B (0x88FF2AB0, 0xC032, 0x, 0x0...) Inaccessible_Boot_Device I do expect that I have lost one of my 3 RAID hds. (I have been waiting for my oldest one to die!) Or, perhaps this time, I may have lost 2 of the 3. I have never, ever, seen this BSOD msg ever. The rest of the BSOD screen suggests that I may have a virus. Odd, I use ESET. Still I accept that it is possible. The machine completes POST. A ctrl-A for the RAID confirms that it is in a degraded mode. And yes; this server install is new since 04/08. It is not backed up simply because it will no longer vit on my dds tape, and, I have not yet gotten any suggested NAS app to run properly. Thank you for any how to start suggestions. I am considering calling in paid help. Duncan

Re: [H] server died again!
You don't have a virus, you probably have a bad disk. What RAID level were you running?

Re: [H] server died again!
Ben, Was running in RAID 5 (?); 2 data drives and a parity drive. With the previous OS install and with the first 2 drive failures, the alarm set and I got a msg at the w2k desktop that the RAID was operating in a degraded mode, but still fully operational. Adaptec SM Pro confirmed which drive was inop. The previous glitches cleared up as soon as I got replacement drives and told SM Pro to rebuild the RAID. This time I can not get to SM Pro. Just my luck. This time, I walked in to a frozen desktop, mouse cursor changed to an UParrow/DWN arrow (never seen this before), a stuck messenger svc window about one of my clients not able to contact the server, and an inop START button - even from kbd commands. I suspect that my 1st mistake was to press the RESET button to reboot. I am not learning server well at all. Thanks for the view of no virus. I will proceed to try and find out which, or, how many of the drives are toast! I have been expecting the oldest of the 3 to fail sometime this year! Thank you.

Re: [H] White list or black list?
Yes the hosts file, that's it. I tried content advisor but it seemed like every time you needed to log in to a site or going to any other part of the site you had to allow content advisor with the password again. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe User Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2008 2:53 PM To: mark.dodge Subject: Re: [H] White list or black list?

Re: [H] server died again!
Wait, you had two drives fail at once? Well, with your setup, you could only survive losing one drive at a time. DHSinclair wrote: Ben, Was running in RAID 5 (?); 2 data drives and a parity drive.

Re: [H] server died again!
No. I do NOT know that I have 2 failed drives. That was my posit at this point. Certainly, if I do have 2/3 dead, I would expect to be dead in the water completely. Kiss my last install and all my data goodbye! Am I close? I suspect only one failed drive ATM, but can not yet prove this. Once I can get that far, I do know how to recover. I am not yet there, I believe. And, why I am consulted with the IT Pros of the List. All I have is the RAID alarm, and w2kserver OS that will not complete a boot to its login prompt. It will get to an F8 prompt. I tried an F8 boot but got another BSOD. I may try again and look for a last known. prompt to choose. Barring that, considering the RAID, and my lack of knowledge, I feel I only have the power to do more harm than good. I do have my lan client's now pointed back to the ESET Barn; so future vdefs should continue to arrive auto-magically. (They do. This client is now +2 above the server!) Thank you.

JoeUser, I though a SonicWall was big bucks? Thought Mark was trying to do this w/o an external hdw solution?

Re: [H] White list or black list?
not really, you get to define exactly where you allow the browser to go.
if you allow google.com and they click on the local google cached copy
link, it will be permitted because you allowed *.google.com - not the
actual link itself (say www.cnn.com)
quite a few ways to restrict using the pac file, via IP and domain name. The
possibilities are vast with inclusion/exclusion parameters.
here's my simple one, which basically bypass my proxy for all local browser
traffic, otherwise it gets pushed through the proxy.
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
if (shExpMatch(url,192.168.*/*)) {return DIRECT;}
if (shExpMatch(url, 192.168.*:*/*)) {return DIRECT;}
return PROXY 192.168.1.250:9876; DIRECT;
}
