G'day to all
The weirdest thing ever.
I can go to any website I want, but if I go to www.absadirect.co.za
which is an on-line banking site, I get an error saying host could not
be found. If I try on my other fedora PC it also doesn't work.
Since I am behind a proxy I have tried logging in as a different user
and it still returns the same error.
But if I go on my windows XPlease it works perfectly! :-/
Is it possible that I could have a virus blocking me from the website.
A virus,,,,, Linux, mmmm!

Nope - I guarantee you it's not that.
Is the XP box behind a proxy as well? Can you go directly (i.e.
circumvent the proxy)?
Reason I ask is because online banking is very sensitive to proxies and
fireballs sometimes. I speak from experience as I have two customers who
cannot access online banking when their Norton Internet Security is enabled.

Ed.

Yes behind the same proxy and firewall using the same user
name and
passwd.

What makes it a funny problem is it was working on thursday and I
haven't made any changes to this box?

www.absadirect.co.za is just used as a round-robin dns alias for there
servers , have you tried going to www.absa.co.za and following the link
to on-line banking.
I have fc1 with mozilla 1.6 and have never had a problem getting into
absa except when there servers were overloaded.

Hi Dean
Thanks for the response
Yes I have tried going through the www.absa.co.za site I get the same

What makes this so strange is it been working and on thursday I actually
did some transactions and friday morning bang, it starts giving an
error.

In proxy settings the port number had mysteriously been dropped on all
the options except the http entry.
Many thanks to all my good friends who responded.

Welcome to my world.
I don't think this is such a good idea, but if it's the only way out
of the network I guess you have to proxy https connections.
What do you think, is this a security risk being that the
connection is suppose to be secure?
In anycase, I would make sure all my web logins are https on a public
or company network.

It's a redirect page. If you have javascript turned off it won't
redirect you.
function FNRedirect(){
location.replace('https://e91.absa.co.za/ibs/ibs.jsp')
}
