Something's obviously changed name resolution for the internal clients. Track that down and you'll find the problem. There's malware that will change the hosts file and put bad sites in. DNS could have been hacked. Figure out where name resolution is coming from and you'll nail the problem...

No, you are not alone. Any company that vends software to run on a server, and which can't figure out how to make it run as a service, should immediately go bankrupt, and their software devs and management should be publicly flogged. Kurt On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 13:04, Mayo, Bill

Afraid not. The department that uses the software makes the decision about what they use. We can only advise. We previously had a different vendor, and this vendor is actually superior from what I can tell. I don't really deal directly with the vendor for this system, so the only thing I can
