registry question

ok im working on 2 computers they both sit side by side and both have the same exact content filter software over our network but one allows me into a site that is blocked by the other is there any idea as to how i can fix it so they both allow this site i have tried searching the registry for the site name but only find it in the recently typed domain subkey.

i basicly want to allow the site on both computers please help

much appreciated - red death68

 

Windows > System32 > Drivers > Etc > open the hosts file as Administrator in notepad and search for the site. If you find it, add a # to the beginning of that line (hash+SPACE) to allow access to it.

 

thanks for the advice but there is no mention of the site there at all

if it helps we are using lightspeed systems

 

Check that the network adapter for each machine is set to get DNS queries from the same source.

 

the computers are both set to automatic and all setting under ipconfig /all appear to be the same other then then ip obviously

 

Have you been in touch with Lightspeed Systems support yet?

 

no sadly i am helping it at my school and have very limited privlidges i only was allowed 2 local admin account to keep the computers running since they are some of the most neglected systems in the school

 

does anyone have any idea how i could allow this site on both systems instead of 1

 

I don't think you are looking at a registry issue. This software can block by URL's, user accounts and IP's. It must not be blocking this URL, so that leaves either the user account or IP. Have you tried logging into the computer that does not have access with the same username as the computer that has access? You may not have proper credentials on the second account.

 

no its a differnt student account which is why im trying to find the difference
