The e250 does content filtering/blocking on web traffic. You probably have a mis-configuration on the HTTP scanning. Have you tried reading the product documentation? Have you tried running a sniffer (Ethereal, tcpdump, snoop, etc) on the network segment with the e250 to determine if traffic is not getting from the inside out passed the e250, or if the problem is that return traffic is not getting back in? It would probably be wise to route traffic around the Webshield for now and thoroughly check out the configuration to be certain you didn't miss anything, before you try putting it back in-line on the network. -- -chort AKA Brian Keefer The thoughts I express are generally piped from /dev/random, needless to say they do not represent my fine employer: CipherTrust, Inc - www.ciphertrust.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Evaluating SSL VPNs' Consider NEOTERIS, chosen as leader by top analysts!
