Cause of the way web servers work, your "trick" will fail in most
instances. The reason why it works for
is that
there is only one website being hosted by that machine, and that
the machine that hosts
is likely hosting more than
just one site. Without the hostname the webserver has no way of
knowing what website you're looking for. So it just hands out
the default site.

web browser, I get right to their page and am able to browse around.

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!
