Ok, see if you can help me wrap my brain around this issue. We have a remote site connected via T-1. They can do everything network/computer related they need, aside from online searches. Google toolbar or [google.com](http://google.com) searches time out. If someone from our dept signs in on one of those computers, searches work like a champ. If one of those computers is brought to our main location & the remote user signs in, searches work like a champ. It seems to be just for these users at this remote site. No acl’s on routers/switches between here & there, our filtering appliance and firewall have not been changed to block any of this. Remote machines are both XP and windows 7 64bit. Any ideas, suggestions? _Anything_? We’ve tried reloading a couple machines, same thing happens, so that tells me it’s nothing with the computer itself. – Stevo ---

Is the remote site coming through a VPN to your site then out to the Internet through any filters you may have in place?

Check to see if it is a DNS issue by accessing a website via its ip address from the remote site. ## – JAMES GOSLING ‘[www.jamesgosling.com](http://www.jamesgosling.com)’ ([http://www.jamesgosling.com](http://www.jamesgosling.com)) ‘[www.novellblog.com](http://www.novellblog.com)’ ([http://www.novellblog.com](http://www.novellblog.com)) jamesgosling’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=9688](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=9688) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=456125](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=456125) ---

Joseph Marton sounds like they ‘said’: [color=blue] > LAN trace[/color] So my response to Joseph’s comment is… That was the next thing I was thinking, was hoping someone here had seen something similar & had a ‘fix’ for it. – Stevo ---
