I have a friend who is having trouble accessing our board from her laptop. This is what she said:

 Quote:
I am on my laptop, and I can't seem to post on the board. I keep getting the message:

The host from which you are accessing the board is not recognized as a valid host. This is more than likely related to a firewall issue that is blocking the referer variable. Check your firewall settings and try again.

Please use your back button to return to the previous page.

I don't see anything different on this computer from what I have on my desktop, and I use ZoneAlarm on both.. The only thing different is I am using a wireless connection on this computer.


Any advice would be appreciated.

Heya Everyone~

I need to revisit this for a moment or two.

I think the deal is fixed in the control panel, but I'm still having some people having difficulties.

Here's one person's message:

 Quote:

But, for some weird reason, I can PM folks. (????)


How is it that she cannot post but can PM?

Weird.

Also, try to find out if she's using a firewall or virus scanner, and try to find out versions (norton internet security also can be quite the fickle pickle)

Sue!!!!!!!

Sue, are you really going to have a problem with people posting to your forums from a web page that is not on your site? I'm betting no. I'm betting that is not a problem for most sites. If you don't think it'll be a problem why not just run that off completely and not worry about it?

Huh? LOL

What can I turn off? I'm more than just a little brain dead right now.


Giz -- didn't see your second message -- I'll ask her about security & what-not.

This is her latest message:

 Quote:

related to a firewall issue that is blocking the referer variable. Check your firewall settings and try again.
