Hello, Recently we've been setting up a new Moodle server to use for our English department. We've tried using Windows and LDAP doesn't seem to play nice, nor do themes... Hence we're going to try a linux install seeing as that's where PHP and MySQL seem to do most of their work. The problem we are facing however is that while we've installed openSuSE 11.3, we can not connect to anything outside our Server VLAN. Pinging Google's DNS servers doesn't work, however when we go to test the proxy, it can resolve the hostname without fail but will not connect to the IP address. Has anybody else had any experience with this? We have specified the proxy in the YaST control center and in Firefox, and in FireFox we're told that the proxy is refusing connections. The settings in the YaST control center under proxy are : http://HTTP://staffproxy.swgfl.org.uk:8080 *Use this for all proxy connections (ticked) FTP (greyed out) HTTPS (greyed out) Proxy Authentication Username : *blank* Password : *blank*. This is on a Hyper-V server, and all other VMs on the server are working just fine. The student working with me on this will join EduGeek shortly and will have the username JakeHendy. Many thanks and help, please!

Thanks for the last suggestion about Impero. This was initially denied by Impero to be the cause, but removing the client removed the generation of the dll file, re-installing the client caused the dll file to be re-generated. I sent off clear logs and Impero accept the info, but in fairness they had prepared a unique build for us to fix a problem and the beta process of placing a dll file was still within the code. I am now not worried about this file, but waiting on a client update so I can remove it across all users home directories. Thank you to everyone for your feedback. Sorry it took so long to update.

Thanks for links, which I had previously read in my Google searches, but what I am hoping to find out is what activity/activities are occuring that causes the creation of this file. It appears in student, teacher, parent and our tech accounts which is why I was wondering if it was a network apps action. I would like to identify the source of its creation and know if I can ignore it or what action I may need to take to stop it occuring in the future. Thanks

Recently we have noticed that in the Root of students and staff "My Documents" redirected to drive u: there is a file bho.dll of varying size and date stamps. A Google search suggests that it usually is used as spyware/adware. After deleting it the next day it is regenerated. I assume it may be the activity of one of our network applications but no idea which. Does anyone know anything about this?

We use Impero to manage all sorts of access limitations, one of which relates to controlling access to Flash Games. The Policy detects instances of captions for "about Flash Professional", "Macromedia Flash Player" and also URL and filenames that includes .SWF.
