We are running Endian 2.2 and some weird thing happens, all microsoft websites are being blocked, even if the IP address bypasses the transparent proxy, I tried switching the proxy off and it still does this, removed all Microsoft related link from the blocked content and still nothing, I have now idea anymorre?

Address Not Found

Firefox can't find the server at www.microsoft.com       

The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.

    * Did you make a mistake when typing the domain? (e.g. "ww.mozilla.org" instead of "www.mozilla.org")
    * Are you certain this domain address exists?  Its registration may have expired.
    * Are you unable to browse other sites?  Check your network connection and DNS server settings.
    * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy?  Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.


I'm able to access this from any other location where there is no endian firewall

Ok,

That error is probably nothing to do with the Proxy, if it was an error with the proxy then its most likely be an Endian error, rather than a generic Firefox one.

Do you have internal DNS servers? or does the Endian just forward them on to your ISP?

Internal

[Rizzlar]

Try pinging microsoft.com and see what it resolves to.
What DNS server software are you using?

[Roland]

Does not let me ping www.microsoft.com

"ping: unknown host www.microsoft.com"

DNS, not sure since I'm not responsible for the DNS

Are there any settings in Endian that I might check?

[Rizzlar]

That strikes me as a problem with DNS as apposed to the Endian, especially if you can ping and access other addresses. - Id have a chat with the person responsible for your DNS.

Unless you have the DNS proxy (under the proxy tab) enabled, and have added a custom rule?
You could also check to make sure that DNS is allowed under Firewall > Outgoing Traffic (UDP+TCP:53)

Sorry I cant be of more help.
