Re: [mnbrewers] RE: the boiler

Has anyone noticed that the AHA website can be reached through either www.beertown.org, or by www.beertown.com? The Beertown.COM site must have come later, because my company filters the BEERTOWN.ORG, site, but I can get to it via BEERTOWN.COM. That may be blocked any day too, of course. I guess my suggestion is to Jim - could MNBREWERS also be registered with a .ORG, or a .something-else address, pointed to the same content? The web filter may not find the new one. Just a thought. - Al Original Message: ----------------- From: Jim Herrick jim(a)bleedpurple.com Date: Thu, 01 Sep 2005 11:16:36 -0500 To: mnbrewers(a)yahoogroups.com, j.voosen(a)comcast.net, mba(a)thebarn.com Subject: Re: [mnbrewers] RE: the boiler Most web filtering is done by content, mostly. I run the MNBREWERS site and the server it sits on. I also run the web filtering for the company I work at full time. There probably won't be an easy way to get around this.

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.

(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. - Al Original Message: ----------------- From: j.voosen(a)comcast.net Date: Thu, 01 Sep 2005 14:47:23 +0000 To: mba(a)thebarn.com, mnbrewers(a)yahoogroups.com Subject: the boiler 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!
