It's a real shame that you have the site so secure that files can't be
downloaded. I saw the note that indicates that in order to download files, I have to shut down my firewall. I will not shut down my firewall just to get around your lack of expertise on setting up a web site that's reasonably protected from hackers. Loads of other sites have that problem well in hand; I would suggest that you look around to see how it may be done without requiring your visitors to disable their quite normal and accepted security measures. -- Dave M Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.

The OP included a warning on his website. That is polite. He is not compelled to solve every problem of certain firewalls with certain browsers in the world. If his website does not work well with Symantec/Norton firewall and Opera and he says so that is OK IMHO. How can he be supposed to purchase the software, which only some have chosen to install on their clients, to be able to test every and so many more possibilities of s/w combinations? I never felt any inclinations to use the Symantec/Norton firewall. If you need a "firewall" on your desktop computer because a dedicated firewall is not an option for you, then you might look for "Tiny Firewall". It is free, freely configurable and quite watertight. But any "firewall"-program has its drawbacks and cannot challenge a real firewall on a dedicated, well maintained machine. No problem with downloads here and I have a real firewall (Linux NATed with ipchains and an additional FreeSwan VPN). Just open the .pdf and then save it. The .zip files can be downloaded conventionally ("right-click blahblahblah" depending on the browser you use). To the OP: Thanks for http://www.schematicsforfree.mattsoft.net/ ! Kind regards, Eike |

Kind regards, Eike I also use ZoneAlarm Pro, and have no problem downloading files from any other site. There must be a configuration problem with that site, otherwise there would be no need to have that notice posted. Obviously, other folks have encountered the same problem. I think it is up to the site owner to make his site as friendly as possible. I realize that it may not be possible to make a site compatible with every combination of browser/firewall combination, but i don't see anything especially strange about my setup.. Zone Alarm Pro 4.5, Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1, Windows XP Home SP1, etc. Nothing exotic there. -- Dave M Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement. |
