Posted September 30, 200816 yr Hi, We had Symantec Firewall earlier and there were couple of rules that were defined (I am not sure whether it was defined in the GPO or using local machine policy). The rules were that if the machine was getting DHCP address then they were blocked at the firewall for access violation of certain sites. So, the users had to log in to Symantec and was then allowed to go out. We have now removed Symantec firewall and we have added another product called Fortigate. So, when the user tries to access some sites which are restricted by the firewall. But, if the same user is provided a static address IP range which is actually allowed to go through the firewall without any restrictions, then they can access it. So, I am not sure whether there is any kind of GPO (local as our previous admins have defined this locally) or through Central GPO that there could have been a restriction that could have been placed where it is defined that if the machine has a DHCP address then restrict this machine and filter the websites that it goes to? I hope I am saying it clearly here, please if you think I am confusing anybody here, please let me know and I will go ahead and explain further. thanks in advance!
