theeldergeek Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) I don't know if it is our Sophos firewall, or something else, but I can't seem to get a list of the forums when on the main forum page. The page shows everything but the forum list. If I go to "new posts" or something like that, I can see lists of new posts, and this is how I got to this forum. I suspect it is due to ads being blocked, as there is reference to Yahoo below - this is the error detail (I get the "page completed with errors" in the bottom left hand corner of IE) Webpage error details User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.2; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E) Timestamp: Wed, 8 Sep 2010 13:12:04 UTC Message: 'YAHOO.plugin.Dispatcher' is null or not an object Line: 80 Char: 39 Code: 0 URI: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/ Is it likely to be our firewall, and if so, what am I looking to get unblocked?

theeldergeek Posted September 8, 2010 Author Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Tried another browser? Unable to do that. My network connection is locked down tighter than a tight thing, so I can't download anything. I'm new here, so don't yet quite know how things tick. Might be the school policy to have such restrictions in place, or just my access through the firewall needs configuring. Not entirely sure yet. Edited September 10, 2010 by theeldergeek
localzuk Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Seems like one of the javascript libraries is being blocked. Do the following files download ok? http://js.bubbling-library.com/2.1/build/dispatcher/dispatcher-min.js http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.7.0/build/tabview/tabview-min.js http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.7.0/build/utilities/utilities.js Edited September 8, 2010 by localzuk typo

Second and third come in OK. Browser workaround, or internal firewall config?
speckytecky Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Can't you be added to a Staff Proxy that allows access for .exe's etc? Unable to do that.... Not entirely sure how I'm going to do my job with only half the tools, but we'll see.
theeldergeek Posted September 8, 2010 Author Posted September 8, 2010 Can't you be added to a Staff Proxy that allows access for .exe's etc? Not sure, this is what I need to find out. Wanted to be sure what the problem was before I go barging in demanding sites are whitelisted though!
frosty Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Sounds like you need to assert some authority there!
localzuk Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 First one doesn't - firewall. Second and third come in OK. Browser workaround, or internal firewall config? That is your reason then - the link is one of the libraries used on the forum page for whatever reason. It'd need unblocking to get it working. 1
theeldergeek Posted September 8, 2010 Author Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Sounds like you need to assert some authority there! It took me a while, but I had you lot well under my control, eventually! Give me some time.... Edited September 9, 2010 by theeldergeek

It'd need unblocking to get it working. Thanks for that. I suspected the firewall, but needed to identify the element that was causing the problem. Thanks for your help.
ZeroHour Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 What do they get categorised as? Those are all part of a JS framework in use in TONS of websites so them being blocked could break a lot of things. Also check if cdn1.edugeek.net and cdn2.edugeek.net work okay?
theeldergeek Posted September 8, 2010 Author Posted September 8, 2010 Also check if cdn1.edugeek.net and cdn2.edugeek.net work okay? Both reach an Apache test page.
theeldergeek Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 That is your reason then - the link is one of the libraries used on the forum page for whatever reason. It'd need unblocking to get it working. Now working. Was the Java library link.
ZeroHour Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Both reach an Apache test page. Thats fine, at least I know they work. When the other url was blocked did it have a category and also what filtering do you use out of interest in case we can check for others having the same issue?

I'm new here, so still finding my feet.
