All you should have to do is- 1) Log on to the W2K machine as the user in question (it is set per user) 2) Right click on an empty spot on the Desktop 3) Make sure the box labeled "Display Web Content On My Active Desktop", on the Web tab, is unchecked. That should turn off channels from the desktop. IE 5, which is also integrated into W2K, can synchronize web sites to make available offline. Check in the "Synchronize..." dialog box from the Tools menu. Then it should really be dead. BUT, it looks more like the problem is not IE or Win2K. Look on the system tray down in the lower right hand corner. Does it contain a little blue "RealAudio" symbol? This piece of work starts up when the user logs in, and loads realplayer into memory so it opens faster when realplayer starts. But, it also synchronizes the RealAudio channel guide, which is a whole other mess entirely from IE. I think this is what is causing your problems. Just right click on that little icon, and choose "Disable". Between all of those things to check, you should be OK.

Hi all ! I'm supporting small proxy server in our office, based on FreeBSD 3.4 and squid-2.2. All works good except latest problems: we have Windows2000 on one of the workstation. It seems like damned active desktop was build-in into it. It tryes to connect to channel server every 2-3 minutes. I have acl list in squid configured such that nobody can access channels. (we use dial-on-demand connection and i don't want it to be permanently dial). But because of such attempts squid log file was full of following lines: 978589267.196 120 golubev.rusig.ru NONE/400 1668 GET http://channels.real.com /getlatest.glh?PV=6.0.5.27&OS=WIN&L=en-US,%20en,%20*&LID=1033&ch=120+54+0+0+ 0&ch =72+39+0+0+0&ch=44+287+0+0+0&ch=52+505+0+0+0&ch=33+393+0+0+0&ch=73+19+0+0+0& ch=9 8+27+0+0+0&ch=94+244+0+0+0&ch=16+478+0+0+0&ch=113+46+0+0+0&ch=51+116+0+0+0&c h=97 +108+0+0+0 - NONE/- - causing squid monthly log file to increase from 1 megabyte to 14 megabytes. It is not yet big problem, but i think in the future we will have a couple of such workstations, and logs will increase to completely unoperable size. Does anybody have solution how to prevent Win2000 to access this damned channel server, or, at least, prevent squid to log all such requests ? P.S. Of course, the best solution is: install FreeBSD on all workstations, but i still can't do it. Regards, Alexander.
