i have a firewall installed on one of the machines. I just noticed that alot of galleries have broken images when it's enabled.

i wonder what % of surfers have firewalls

Fletch XXX · 04-17-2003, 11:56 AM

most probably have software ones installed id bet.

the more advanced household Dad's with 4+ computers for the different kids may have hardware firewalls...

Norton fucks up my site, makes all the images broken, but anyone stupid enough to use Norton, isnt welcome on my site!

norton works good for me, just not the firewall

oh no its not just Norton.

Norton is one of the best Firewalls in the business, but the .htaccess script i use wont allow Norton users to view my site, and I had to make a choice...

no Norton visitors... OR... a massive hosting bill...

I think I made the right choice

yeah, but them files can be hot linked

SetTheWorldonFire · 04-17-2003, 04:37 PM

okay, now... is there a way to avoid this?

or another way of going about preventing hot linkers and still be able to use a firewall

MattO · 04-17-2003, 04:40 PM

I prevent hotlinking by pulling images out of a SQL database
at least, I think it works...

Ditto. I turned of their firewall and use Zone Alarm (from zonelabs) instead. No problems with it ever.
