I just played around a little with how my
workplace does web filtering. It is
done strictly by name. For example,
if I try to go to www.northernbrewer.com
the request is denied. If I ping
that address and learn that the IP is 208.42.68.77 and enter the IP into a web
browser, I get right to their page and am able to browse around. If I try to go to www.mnbrewers.com the request is
denied. If I ping that address and
learn that the IP is 65.199.118.138 and enter the IP into a web browser I end
up getting page not found. I am not
a web expert, but there must be something simple that can be changed by whoever
hosts mnbrewers.com that would allow it to be accessed by IP number.
Now that may not help at Jim’s
workplace, as not all web filtering is created equal. I have just found that it works with the
way my work filters web requests.

Jim-
Sounds like a personal problem! (Just
kidding....) My work filters
mnbrewers.com from browsing while at work
also. Do you have internet
access at home? Can you download it from
there?
It might be worth a talk with whoever manages the
firewall at your work
too, and see why they filter MNBREWERS.COM .
I'd rather not have duplicate content on the two
sites. Also, the YAHOO
site has come to be a repository of mostly
technical information on
brewing, mostly for the BJCP class.
I will send you a copy of the BOILER via email.

Dumb question for any of us who have to deal with
firewalls:
Is it possible to put the Boiler out on the Yahoo
web site under Files?
Our filewall has no issue with Yahoo but does not
like mnbrewers.com.
Thanks!
