At first glance I'd say it looks like RS has been blocked at the proxy level, but in that case you're more likely to get a message like "Stop looking at naughty sites!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What the message is saying is that when the proxy tried to retrieve the server list page for you, what the website sent back was either not what was expected, or otherwise not able to be understood by the proxy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This could be a freak occurence, or it could be something wrong with the proxy config.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a test, try multiple computers in the library and see if they all have the same response. Also try at different times of the day. See if you get the same result.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Someone "In Authority" may not neccesarily know the ins and outs of the library's network configuration. If it keeps happening, maybe try to find out if you can send an email to the network administrator.

Its very strange...some computers get to the world select...some get to detail..some dont even get to the site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And thank you VERY much....I you intelligent response is an encouragment

[dwarfie76]

OK, if it's happening on more than one machine, it's most likely to be a problem with the proxy configuration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Given the lines "Your cache administrator is root. " and "localhost.localdomain" in the error message it may be that the administrator has either just installed the proxy software or is not overly familiar with it's setup.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Without actually being able to see the HTTP response that the proxy is complaining about, I don't have any further assistance to offer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd say your best bet is to ask the library staff for the email address of the network administrator and send a copy of the error message to him/her and see what their opinion is.

i used to get this message at school it is that the firmware (or sommet like tht) doesnt support what runescape needs.
