Could Sentinel Affect Reaching A Site Via NetWork Places

New Member Joined: Aug 20, 2004 Posts: 7 Location: NC, USA

After installing Sentinel and enableing the feature that blocks Harvesting, I can no longer reach my web site via MY Network Places in Windows XP Pro.

When I disable and log out, it seems to be ok.

Am I just nuts?

Thanks,

Chad

What agent is your browser enabling/emulating?

That would be my question too. That or does your system block sending or the user agent string completly?

Also is this XP Pro Service Pack 1 or 2?

AND..

Are you hosting this from XP (or on another Microsoft system) or just going there Via XP's "My Network Places"?

This has been answered here a few times. "disco" is in the word Discovery. Just delete "disco" from your Harvester list.
