Outstanding! Works perfectly. Thanks Andy

I have the following (excerpt) in my htaccess file to allow access to certain sites to view graphics files else land at the index page: >RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://allowed-site1.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://allowed-site1.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://allowed-site2.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://allowed-site2.com$ [NC] RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ /index.html [R,NC] This works fine but is there a way that I can "approve" my own self by allowing my IP? Sometimes I need to view things outside the page environment. No biggie but it would make life a little easier. As always, I appreciate your time and input,

Condolences to you and yours Paul. We're very sorry to hear this and you shall all be in our thoughts and prayers.

Horrible. I am so glad that Juneau will be ok but it will take a long time for her and you to get over this. I have serious issues with people (?) that do not know (or care) to take care of their pets so I won't go there. We wish you both the best.

Thanks all, I think I will go ahead and try it anyway. I'll still be way ahead of the game by having a centralized location for files (I can always move music files as needed) as well as a print server. Now I just have to "remind" my better half that she said it was ok to purchase this......

I drink very little soda these days but my preference a looooooong time ago was always Coke from a glass bottle. I do like the Coke with Lime though they do not carry it around here anymore, just the Diet. Blea.

First off I want to apologize if my previous post seemed a bit um, 'edgy'. I certainly didn't mean for it to sound that way. I tempted to try scanning via the network just for fun but I won't worry about it. I don't scan that often but it would be handy for those times I do. I am now leaning towards getting the Buffalo LinkSatation (buy.com / $169.00 free s/h) but I do wonder about 2 things. Some reviews claimed it's not as fast as it should be but under normal use shouldn't matter. Now I'm not sure what that means unless it ties in to point #2. Some reviews claim it won't play music files over the network without skipping and stalling. With me being a music teacher that won't do. So I tried an experiment but I don't know if it proves anything. My sound files are on an ext USB HD connected directly to the desktop pc, let's call it E. I took my laptop (wireless) and opened several sound files on E and they played from my laptop just fine. Is this the same thing? It's still playing over the network via the router right?

Because they already are? wrong answer! no soup for you! It's true though,, the devices already exist and are plugged into my "main" desktop. I can only access files on those drives if that particular pc is powered on and I need to get away from that if it's possible. With summer approaching and temperatures increasing that machine throws off quite a bit of heat and the fans get noisier as it gets hotter. No air conditioninghere either. It would just be nice to be free of the noise, the heat and the wires. I can unplug the ext. HD and put it into the laptop but that still leaves me tied down to my desk and wreaks havoc on the drive letter assignments on both machines. Not like my life depends on it or anything, I just thought it would simplify things a bit. yea, riiiiiiight

Thanks all. I won't worry about the scanner. It's my least used piece. The Linksys NSLU2 seemed like a possible solution but it has a couple drawbacks. No printer support (almost ok) and user must reformat ext. hard drive for use with the unit. Not ok. The Buffalo Linkstation looks real good but again it seems the user must reformat ext. hard drive. Maybe I can borrow a HD. Hmm...what ever shall I do? I shall keep on hunting!

Greetings! Short description: Computers: 4 units : 2 wired desktops, 2 wireless laptops Peripherals: 1 printer, 1 scanner, 1 external hard drive I bet you can see where this is going... I would like to be able to access any of the peripherals at any time from any computer without having to mess with wires or having to use one of the desktop machines as a connecting point (current scenario). I have a cable modem and wireless router. Is a lan drive what I need? Or is something else required? I started looking and found this : h**p://pc4usa.com/DetailSales.asp?productID=1132&parCat=&Scatn=20&Catn=6 I would love to hear from anyone who has experience or opinions on this. Thanks folks! PS (edit) Thoughts on security would be appreciated as well.

Thanks, that what I thought. If it ain't broke....................

After noticing this thread today (for the first time) I thought it seemed familiar. So I checked. Turns out all my databases, spread over 4 domains and 3 servers, are collated "latin1_swedish_c". Everything seems to work fine. Should I open help desk tickets?

scutchen - I recommend using something other than webmaster@ in your address. too easy for the bad guys

Hey, that's ok - I should have been more clear in the first post. Being that it traces back to an ISP there isn't really much I can do.

Hi Jim, I do have a 404 in place but it is serving pages ( http code 200 ) So I decided to try it and it does serve the first page refered in the string however it is badly broken. So now I'm thinking I need to create a rule so that any url that has a wierd url like that will indeed get a 404 but that my not be necessary. I'll keep my eyes open to see if it happens again.

I can try to ban them but they have a very large IP range so it might be difficult. I'm not going to worry too much about it but I do find it curious

(feel free to move) I do not recall seeing this type of entry in the logs before. At least not so many. There are over 500 different versions of this all occurring one after the other from a single IP belonging to Abovenet Communications. /band.html/band_bylaws.html/united_arts.html/band.html Http Code: 200 Date: May 01 01:59:12 Http Version: HTTP/1.0 Size in Bytes: 20733 Referer: - Agent: - I don't like it cause it uses bandwidth obviously but I'm curious as to what it means. Any input would be appreciated.

I got confirmation from the um, "affected" parties. It's all good now. Thanks for your help.

My bad - I missed this yesterday............ Congratulations Tim!

Changing to <div>s worked and it's basically ok. Thanks Bruce. Tim - you're right. I do need a more fluid layout because now the main content and rightside won't match at the bottom in IE and in FF they are even but the maincontent continues down all on its own. I'll get there. At least it no longer looks like you're being served a blank page. I hope. Thanks.

At the bottom of both those pages I noticed that the posted rehearsal schedules (unique to only those 2 pages) were set between ><pre>..........</pre> tags and was causing it to overflow and jump the content to the bottom. I have (temporarily) fixed it by defining a font size but I won't know more until I can get someone to "report" back to me. Good time for a nap I guess....... Ok, no nap yet. It still breaks set to "largest" (man that's big) but I think I can fix that.............

Ok, I'm getting somewhere. He sent me this screen shot and my first thought is font size. Changing it from medium to larger in IE definately breaks those pages. Only those 2 pages. (Doesn't break in FF, just makes for really loooooong pages) I still don't know what to do but at least I have something. I rather doubt it's the stylesheets because they're imported but I think I'll look anyway.

Thanks, I forgot the "Need Directions" link. You're right, it needs to be edited. I payed it no mind as I just copied the link without really thinking about it. Also true is that link is on every page yet only 2 pages don't display correctly. This is bizarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre Doesn't yahoo use IE as part of their subscription setup "package"? Must be an altered version because in IE it looks fine.

I changed the right-side margin just a bit, I don't know if that helps. I will look at my apostrophes now but Kevan, could you please be more specific please on the following?: I get using #38; for & but I'm not seeing it in links so I'm a little lost Thanks!

Thanks, I'll have a look and pay special attention to the things you mention.
