Hi,
I'm using a Proxi server on my computer, and when I try to post message using my machine I'm getting this message:
POST requests from foreign hosts are not allowed.
What could be the relation?
I can browser all foruns OK, and I can post in other foruns OK too.
If I disable the proxy, it work OK.

I can almost guarantee you that your proxy server is either misconfigured or of bad quality. the most likely case is that your proxy server is messing with your header information, and if your header information is wrong many of your requests are being rejected.
I am working myself 50% of the time behind a proxy, and have never had that problem.
Q: What is your proxy server, what is the product? I'm just curious so that we know in the future if this comes up again.

Andy,
Is one I'm using at my office and I will be of until Tuesday.
I can't remmember the name now, but for the Country, it's placed on Colunm 4.
THis is what I remmember, because I was asked where to place each colum, like browser type, ip number and country and country was on 4.
I will check it and will go back here.
Correction: what I'm using is not only proxy server. It's also one 'annonymiser' (spell?)
it's supose to hide my real IP number from any site I don't autorize to see it. I autorized mbwlt.com

There you have it. Every and each anonymizer fiddles and f*cks with the headers in order to hide your idendity. Turn it off and it'll work.
