I work for Fife Council and whenever I try to access this forum from a council PC I'm getting told that my IP address is blocked. Can someone from AFTN tell me why this?I'm hoping its not because of one council employed idiot being blocked because since our internet connection goes through a proxy server, blocking the one IP would stop everyone from getting access.

It may be that because the site allows sweary words and stuff that is not suitable for everyone's eyes, that your work is blocking it. I know another civil service lot that block their employees.

I'm not an expert on this though so maybe GoF can call it better!

It's a Bravenet page that says the IP is blocked and to speak to the administrator. I need some way of spending my breaks!

U used to be able to get onto site but the internal IT dept seem to have upgraded the fire. It always blocked more obvious social network/forums but it seemto have extended that recently.

DIB,

What other sites have you been trying to access from the council PC. If you are too shy to tell everyone fair enough. However here is the way around it. Hold end, tab and Ctl down you should then get a black screen flash for about half a second you will then get a small red or green box in the top left corner. Click on it and it will bring up a box called delex config route 1 type in 3yp990rt and hit return. This should allow you to skip the block and will let you search for AFTN and pick it up the only problem is you have to do it each time you access it. If you find it doesn't work just get back to your f"u7ing job as your break will be over and your boss will come and ride you around the room.

Try working for a change , rather than trying to go onto a football website ,Do this at home in yer own feckin time , not the councils .

Ah silly me, there was me thinking full time workers who pay council tax themselves were entitled to breaks like the rest of the working population.

They do, make your way to your local library and you can have your free internet access. They're hardly going to turn off a connection that's permanently on every lunch time. It costs the same whether people on their break use it or not. It's no wonder people get fed up with this forum. can't remember the last time a thread sticking to the original topic and didn't get someone changing the subject for a good moan.
