Using the IP filter can cause a reduction in PWB execution speed. This is due to the fact PWB needs to resolve every URL into an IP. If your DNS is not resolving URLs in a timely manner it will have an impact on PWBs performance.

Problems opening Javscript popup when using IP filtering
I have a problem when using the IP filter. When I restrict the IPs using PWB I cannot open a javascript popup (Active Server) page on one of our servers. I put a network sniffer on the line and determined that there is a flurry of DNS activity involving UDP port 53 and random ports above 1023 just before javascript popup failure. This DNS activity is not present (or not visible) when the IP filter is disabled in PWB. Any thoughts on this?
I've been experimenting with URL filtering also. I've read elsewhere on this board that URL filtering looks at the titles of the webpages as well as the URL. Is this true? If so, the Javasript window title isn't detected and the problem remains.
Thanks,
Bill

PWB attempts to determine the IP from the URL address. If PWB is unable to resolve the IP it should allow the browse to procede based on the +all, or not to procede based on the -all. Perhaps we need to add a allow if not resolved setting to the IP filter. What is the URL to the page that is not displaying?
The URL filter checks the URL address only, the title is not checked. The pop-up filter checks the web page title.

Hi Scott
Here's the link:
http://www.fairchildsemi-careers.com/fa ... efault.asp
Under 'Super Jobs' click on a job listing.
Under the Job Requirements section click 'Apply Online'
Under 'Submit Resume' at the top click on 'Resume Builder'.
This is where things fail when I restrict the IP to the website listed above. Based on your previous reply on how IP filtering works, I've looked closer at the embedded Javascript code for the popup window. It contains an incomplete URL that loads a style sheet before the Javascript kicks in. It starts like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Resume Builder</TITLE>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/fairchild/jobboard/custom/jobboard.css" type="text/css">
<style>
I'm thinking that perhaps PWB is choking on the unqualified address above. This code appears to be dependant on inheriting the fullly qualified server path from the Parent Window.
Just a thought. You can view the whole source by right clicking on the popup window and viewing the source.
Thank you for your help!
