Simon,
The message below is what pops up with my firewall enabled. For the moment I turn it off when I log on, which is not a big deal. As Tom said, these firewalls are a pain. I'm thinking of doing away with it because I thought it would help block out all the spam emails, but apparently it's useless for that.

You are seeing this message because of one of the following reasons:
You tried to post information from another domain.
Personal firewall installed on your computer explicitly erased "http_referer" information.
Problem #1:
Forum admin enabled domain checking to prevent any unauthorized access from other domains. Please use http://www.foroflamenco.com/ to access our forum. You may click here to try again.
Problem #2:
Your personal firewall software may explicitly erased "http_referer" information from your browser. This small piece of information is used for security reasons only and we do not store this information on our web server, our database server, nor your browser (as cookies).
You will be able to view the content on our forums but you will not be able to post messages without "http_referer". The following personal firewall applications are known to cause this problem:
Norton Internet Security 2002:
Options
Personal Firewall
Advanced Options
Browsing Privacy
Click on the Permit tab from the drop down box on the Browser (User Agent)
Zone Alarm Pro Edition (under Privacy Sections):
Mobile Code Control > Off
Ad blocking > Off
Cookie Control > Off
It is also possible to set our forum's URL as a trusted site on some firewall software so that the software's settings will not conflict with our forums. For more information on firewall configuration, please consult the manual accompanied with the firewall software for detailed configuration instructions.
You should look for the following specific sections in the firewall's help file should you need to tweak your firewall settings:
Ad-blocking, as we use pop-up windows for various page functionalities. You should set the block level to "low" or turn it off completely while browsing our forums. Some firewall software can't differentiate an Ad from legitimate page functionalities.
User Agent settings, as we need to identify whether you are accessing our forums from the designated URL (specified by forum admin). In our case, the designated URL would be: http://www.foroflamenco.com/
Script-blocking, as we use JavaScript for various page functionalities. Our JavaScript codes are available for viewing in case you are unsure of the safety issues involved.
Trusted Site/Zone, as you can set our forum's URL as a trusted URL in your firewall to prevent all the problems without having to switch off the above features in your firewall.
