Dude,

I have NEVER, EVERRRRRRR said to include http:// in a Destination Set.
NEVER.

There is a big different between *stuff.com and *.stuff.com in
Destination Set.

The former would block www.mystuff.com while the latter wouldn't.

If you try to block chat.msn.com and you have a Destination Set entry
for chat.msn.com. Of course, you would NEVER put the protocol in the
Destination Set, because the protocol isn't part of the destination. You
NEVER need to put a wildcard in front of chat.msn.com to block the site.


HTH,
Tom

Hi All

While tidying and adding more sites to my various deny rules, I have
managed to get my rules working correctly.

In the past, as per Dr Shinder's and Microsoft's instructions to format
the destinations as :- *.www....., or http://...... with the path as
/*., I found that many of these did not work.

I have spent an hour or two today, going through my destination sets and
modifying them, and now they all work 100% of the time.

The correct format to enter into the destination sites, is *domainname,
i.e. *chat.msn.com, and a path of /*. This blocks all ways to get to the
site, except for the ip address, which can be entered along with a path
of /*

HTH
