Hi guys,

My step-dad has a problem when viewing a certain web page. Saying that his HTTP_REFERER cannot be found. I tried using a sample page to find his HTTP_REFERER, but that too couldn't find anything. (I tried it at home on my PC and both the website and ASP page work, my ADSL connection is provided by another company).

I can't find any reason as to why my step-dads http_referer isn't being sent. He connects via an ADSL Alcatel Modem on BT-broadband. The XP pro firewall is turned off and there are no other Firewalls etc active. He has spoken to BT who couldn't find a problem, but they weren't too clued up (aparently).

Anyone got any ideas.
 
It ended up being down to the firewall software that he was using.
