texte = Hi Peter. Thanks for the reply. Our Firewall has a redirection IP number. We set it to our Web Server, and set our web server default page to the Template containing the code I showed you.This will not effect our web site because we use virtual domains which have their own default pages. The only way you would get the template is if you accessed the web server using a host not listed in the Virtual Host list i.e. via IP number. It's odd, but it works.Now the problem occurs from the same machine, sometimes working properly, sometimes not. Same browser, same machine, so I eliminated browser wierdness. Maybe I was premature. The version of the browser is IE but it's the most current. I will check it with other versions and browsers.Bob>> I am trying to have our server send me e-mail every time someone tries to >> access a blocked site from behind our firewall.
