Hi Laurie,<br>
<br>
We had few niggles changing over to Netspace other than the previous
ISP, were, hmmm how to put this politely...somewhat less than helpful
in changing over the webhosting.<br>
<br>
I assume Laurie that you are using a proxy between you and Netspace?
You could specify in your browser settings (you can push this out easy
peasy through group policy) to use the non filtered Netspace
connection, they can help with the addy I won't type it here for
obvious reasons. <br>
<br>
You can then lock down access through your proxy and again tie this to
group policy if your proxy system can synchronise to active directory
so that you can have different access levels for different user groups.
Down side you would have to manually generate your blacklist...not so
good. But I would suggest it is worth using a differential access
system like this anyway so that you can preserve some bandwidth
particularly if you have a heavy netbook or notebook program running.<br>
<br>
White listing through the Netspace control panel is really quick and
easy. A few years ago it took ages for the white listing to come
through, now it is almost instantaneous. So if you have the credentials
for the panel and your laptop in class you could theoretically unlock
sites in real time.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Just a brief off-topic question. Has anybody had
a
trouble-free changeover to Netspace? Ours has been horrific. I sent my
students
off to devzone.zend.com to look at some of the great tutorials there
(devzone.zend.com/article/627)
and access was denied because the web-site’s content was deemed
“inappropriate: contains computing and IT chat”! That’s
almost as good as the time our filters denied access to the Vatican’s
Art
Gallery because it contained “Nudity, Lingerie and Profanity”. Roll
on Conroy’s firewall!<o:p></o:p></p>
