Help Firefox Problem

[NikpV]

I've used several versions of this for years at home but at work I've never managed to get it to work with the intranet!!

 

the home page address for the intranet is http://bart/intranet/staff.html but if I put this in the address bar I get redirected to

 

http://www.vianetworks.nl/ and then to http://www.claranet.nl/

 

Why ????????

 

if I put the following (don't ask how I found this out)

 

file://///bart/intranet/staff.html

 

in the address then it gets to the home page but any links clicked get redirected to claranet ????

Do I take it then bart is the name of the server within your local network ?

 

Are you using point to point access with another site?

 

I take it clara.net is your companies ISP, and I also take it that all is OK with IE,

 

If this is so then its an odd one

[Gteuk]

Another few questions?

 

Does work know you have installed Firefox, if not IT may have put a security policy on it

Do you run through a proxy and is it set to the right ports and server

yes bart is the server

 

no clara net is nothing to do with the school

 

yes it works with IE6 and IE7

 

They are not experiencesd - it is basically a housewife who startd life cleaning the bbc machines ! She now runs the IT dept 5 servers - 300+ computers - when I asked about security policies and firefox she said 'I've heard of firefox' so unless its built in as a default into server 2003 I doubt it

 

 

there is a proxy - set in ie -I assumed that FF copied the settings - where will I set it up in FF??

[NikpV]

ok found where to set proxy setting in FF and the ip and port numbr are correct already -- don't have problem with the internet just the intranet ???

 

 

Glad its not a trivial problem though I've looked at it a few times over the months

[NikpV]

ah - putting 'Bart' in the no proxy list means I get to the correct top level page but now it asks for a password/username when I click a link

[NikpV]

okay not very intuitive but tried changing

 

In

About:config

security.checkloadurl to false

 

(that seemed a bit too broad)

 

so tried adding Bart to the following key

 

About.config

network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-urls bart

 

 

and

RESULT

I think :46:

she didn't but she does now - just shows that its never to late to learn eh Maz :46:

 

Btw she does not get paid anything like the rate that she would in industry apparently :46:

[Gteuk]

This seems alright to me.

 

Do I take it that it is to be accessed by all or was the password there to stop ppl getting into it, i.e. if after putting a user and pass in were you able to surf the rest or did it come up every time.

 

Your version of firefox sounds slightly different to mine :46:

 

But basically what you have done is similar to trusted sites on IE

[NikpV]

no not normally a password at all it kept coming up every link I clicked but it seems ok now

 

version of FF is

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

 

I downloaded on to my pda through my network at home from the link on the pic site last night, transferred it with IrD this morning to my Lappy and installed it. We have a nanny company which either bans pages outright or bans on the fly using a 'weighted phrase' the link was on a banned page - BTW it also filters out your adverts between posts one and the rest :46:
