I tried the .REG fix posted by Kevin Fradley and it worked great. The nice thing about a .REG file is that you can give it to your users and say "here, run this".
As I previously pointed out, an alternate workaround is to use Mozilla as a browser. It never had the security flaw that affected IE and is not affected by this week's patch. You and Alonzo Seaborne have both identified that the WhatsUp Gold webserver does not authenticate using NTLM (or have AD integration, etc). This is something that is on the feature request list, along with stuff like supporting NTLM authentication when performing HTTP monitoring, offering SSL support for both the internal webserver and when monitoring HTTPS.

I'm just asking...is there something you could do with one of the other workarounds Microsoft recommends on the server/asp side?. That is my real question. (Not to mention WUG could use AD or some other directory service as an alternative to the local authentication db so that seamless login could be performed, but we won't go down that road today.) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark Symons Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 1:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] After installing MS patch Q832894, can't view W hat'sup Gold site One thing is for sure... the problem your are experiencing is not caused by your WhatsUp Gold software. It's caused by your patched Internet Explorer. The only people who can fix the problem are the folks at Microsoft, who removed support for a perfectly valid URL form.

Before I go out and hack 1500 PC registries, is IPSwitch going to be able to do something for those of us who need to secure the site, but still need read-only access for "public" use without a userid and password required? 2. Has anyone else found a better or easier workaround for the WUG site? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gary Swanton Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 3:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] After installing MS patch Q832894, can't view What'sup Gold site Hi Steve, I too have become another victim of this patch....What are the details of the reg fix that you have implemented?

I put it in manually and restarted the server Whatsup Gold is on and I still can't access the site. Anyone have an idea? TIA.

Anyone know why this is happening? Should I run the patch on the server that has What'sup Gold on it? TIA for your help.
