I've found that somewhere I have a 'bug' that when I try to get
to the ADMIN LOGN or LUNARPAGES home page my IE browser closes.
I'm able to get to these forums, or any general www address.

So it appears somehow Lunarpages is the target so I hope they
already have a solution. I'm able to access via another computer
so it's only persistant on 1, and I run both through the same router
so it's not my network.

Hi,

I'm not sure what to recommend other than downloading another browser. I'd recommend Mozilla Firebird, it's at www.mozilla.org other than that I'll talk to our webdevelopers maybe they can come up with a reason for this Smile

u must be kidding me, please think what you just recommended.
I'd prefer real solutions (ie how's the bug interecept the url on my machine). In previous cases the bug sits as a 'ie' clone. I haven't time
yet to debug because I needed to update the site with some info. Since it's ONLY lunar pages I'd thought maybe this had been reported previously.

Thanks for the idea though..

Well, my other solution is to contact Microsoft and submit a bug report. It's not a Lunarpages bug, what else would you prefer as a recommendation?

Upgrade your IE, that's the other recommendation.

We have thousands of customers, MSIE is definately the preferred and most popular client, and at least I've never heard this complaint, therefore although I can ask our webdevelopers to look over their code, when only one person's IE crashes out of the thousands and thousands who have loaded this site, the chances of them finding the bug in the page rather than in the client (or your system.) is rare.

I'll look into it though. Smile

The offending agent is 1 of two items I recently turned on,
1 - Tweak-XP add blocker/popup blocker
2 - FreeSurfer

One of these is doing this (resident as I expected) the only problem which I will try to narrow down later tonight is which. I only used the 'default' settings, I quickly scanned the list but didn't see 'Lunarpages' but it doesn't mean they aren't filtering 207.0.50.51 OR is there something with your pages that trigger these?

Lunar pages may want to 'download' these and check them, then request the company to 'remove' the offending setting that's blocking thier host if these are active. Stay tuned I have to leave but will debug more later.

***********************************************************
You've seemed to miss my point.
It's only www.Lunarpages.com (and associated links ie login.htm) that this occurs, so someone is attempting to prevent me from going to this site.

It isn't 'lunarpages' specifically since I used my thinkpad and it worked fine so save your guys some time, it's resident and persistant to my desktop. When I find it I'll post the solution, I'd just not used this system
for several weeks to access 'LunarPages' and will need to spend some debug time on it.

As far as what else? This is a security forum so I was hoping some
knowledge of web hacking and browser vunerability out in the reader community, maybe someone knows but just hasn't read this yet.  As far as Microsoft they are no different than Unix/Linux, All op sys are vunerable in some way  Wink (I do work in the industry) IF I find it to be something 'browser' specific I will file a report with MS.


Thanks for the quick responses.

Hi there,

I understand your concern now, you failed to mention you had FreeSurfer and the popup blocker. I will download these and investigate a bit and get back to you.
