Are you saying that http://www.news.com loads, but (1) some of the
graphics on the page do not load? Or is it that (2) the page has links
that lead to blocked pages?

I don't understand this statement. If the issue is (2) above, point at
the blocked link on the http://www.news.com page (without clicking on
it) and read the url from the status line at the very bottom of the
internet explorer window.

Would you please explain this question a bit further?

I'm sure we can get this straightened out with just a bit more
information.

I am finding that news.com is sometimes being blocked.

The home page loads, but some of the urls are blocked.  I am not on the
network that SG is running on, so I can't give you an exact URL.

Could it be that the numbered urls are being interpreted as IP addresses
and therefore blocked?

I got the blacklists from the link on www.squidguard.org/download - are
these the newest and best blacklists to use?

Any help or suggestions welcome.  I am about to roll this out to 30 or
so users once I have finished testing - and it is all running on a P75
with 40MB RAM!

Cordially
