How many Computer geeks can this stump?

Recommended Posts

The tally right now is 1. :(

Got a call this morning from a friend that can't access a site or a link from her computer, but can from her husbands which is on the the same network. :S

Here's the site:
http://linkshare.com

The client login button does not appear and if she types in the link it does not work either. Is there something peculiar about their code?

She has cleared her cookies, cache, history, and I even had her clear her SSL state. Windows XP SP2 running all the hotfixes.

Any ideas?

Proxy?

I run my machines through a proxy. Some sites are intentionally inaccessible from some workstations for security reasons while still being on the same subnet.
Specific IP addresses are blocked.

Also, some types of http commands are permitted and some are not. Some workstations are not permitted to pass a POST operation to the server.

It's a home setup running through a cable modem. There is wireless access, I'm guessing there is a router and I know they are using desktop firewall software (Norton on the problem computer and MCafee on the other.)

Try disabling the antivirus software temporarily and see if that fixes it.

I've seen Norton cause issues in the past. If there is content on that page that Norton doesnt like, maybe active-x or jsp pages that it views as potentially harmful, it can block them.

Norton Firewall has settings to block secure connections. Typically it's in one of 2 places, the Privacy manager or in the advanced rules for the firewall. I'd disable the Whole security suite to rule out Norton. If it works, I'd then disable the privacy manager. If all else fails, in the firewall config, advanced tab, general button, there's a rule to "Block acccess to secure sites"
