Net Support can do this on a class to class or computer to computer basis.... Removing the Address Bar would be the solution otherwise, I think... my GPO books don't mention address bar in Explorer

There are GPO settings for this, if you are able/allowed to edit them... ANother point, is, you might want to look @ Outpost from ranger....we use it and it's far superior to most systems out there atm.

Right, seems a little odd to prevent that... surely allowing it would increase the amount of people using quicktime... Anyway... now I have to find the simplest and easiest solution... *starts reading*

Me being the lazy type.... has anyone managed to get a working MSI that they are willing to share?

Titch... This looks like a typical EdICT thing... they tried to do it to us a few years ago, and wanted £200k for a Vanilla MS network with a fancy log-on screen and no admin access! (this was the early years of EdICTNET) We went with viglen instead, and have thrown them out as well. If you'd like to chat about it, drop me an email Steven DOT Davison AT rmays.hants.sch.uk

Ok, I'm getting permission denied errors on cache.log... I've chmod'd 750 as you suggested, but any suggestions on who i give ownership to?

Ok... New problem. While I've got the code in place to use the redirect.pl, squid refuses to do anything... I get no errors on a -k parse, but it still doesn't run, either from command or reboot. i've triple checked the code as well... Any ideas?

OK, i've created the file and added the url_rewrite_program into the squid.conf... on doing a 'squid -k parse' I get an error message : parseConfigFile: line 324 inrecognized: 'url_rewrite_program /etc/squid/redirect.pl' :s any ideas? I couldn't find url_rewrite_program to modify... where is it roughtly?

Ok, thanks for the info... @ Iain I'm assuming there isn't a required folder to put the redirector.pl code into? Many thanks again Edit: Am i to assume that the perl script would replace the address with the IP on the actual address bar? Is there a way tp keep the address as rmays.hants.... etc?

Have they fixed the issue with AD's of more than 600 users?

OK, I can understand that... Presumably i'd also need to set our DNS server to treat rmays.hants.sch.uk as one particular address, and anything else as the PC's address say for instance our domain controller goes from rmssrv1.rmays.local to rmssrv1.rmays.hants.sch.uk. therefore rmssrv1.rmays.hants.sch.uk woud resolve to 192.168.0.1 but rmays.hants.sch.uk 192.168.0.2 Correct? Also, as changing the domain name is fairly important, What is the 'wrong' way to do it? I'll need to present it to the NM before i can consider it!

@ Geoff I want to stop internal users going out on to the net to get the school site, which is located on site with an internal IP. It also has an external IP. Hampshire Arrange the schools on its network as a WAN, so they can technically access any machine when they like, we didn;t like that so put a firewall in between the 2 and used Class C IPs for our network, instead of the hampshire assinged addresses... The domain .rmays.hants.sch.uk is directed to the external IP address... Therefore, if a user types that in at the momment, it's passed through our Dansguardian and Squid Box, onto hampshire, who then redirect it the external IP. I don't want that to happen when the user is on site. I want out squid/dansgaurdian unit to redirect that correctly. I don't beleive that setting a DNS entry would work, since we don't use rmays.hants.sch.uk as our internal domain name. We do use Rmays.local A DNS entry on our server would append rmays.local to the end of any doamin we put in. please correct me if i have made any conceptual mistakes! Thanks for your help.

I'd rather not have to install squid guard... I've already got Dansguardian installed... if that helps?

Hi... I'm sure this has been asked before, but i've searched for it here, and on google... I'm trying to get my squid proxy to redirect a webdomain (rmays.hants.sch.uk) to a local IP address. I'm fairly sure its possible, but i'm not sure on the exact keywords to use in squid.conf (I did see that Geoff had said he's posted instructions on how to re-write URLS, but I was unable to find that as well!) Many thanks, Stese
