Force.com attaches to web address - security

When I type a web address in my web browser, "force.com" or "salesforce.com" comes up in it. Here's an example: https://k12parentportal.force.com/portal_enrollmenthome>. Everything is correct except force.com being in it. I think the actual address is: https://K12parentportal/enrollmenthome>; but, it's happened so often that I can't type the real address. It happens in Internet Explorer and Firefox. I reset IE, but it keeps happening. This has been going on for several weeks. It will also redirect my browser to "salesforce.com". I had never been to your website until my browser was redirected. I ran malewarebtyes and HitmanPro Anti Malware to remove it, but it's still there. I have tried everything to remove it from my computer, but nothing works. Can you please help me with this? Thank you. Beverly `

This is a website for programmers, not a place to talk to Salesforce the company.
This is not a valid url because it is not a valid domain name: https://K12parentportal/enrollmenthome HINT, no .com
force.com is a business platform and is trustworthy. Google it.

How to setup a Share point Link for a google extension

So, I am trying to implement a SharePoint intranet site for an organization. However, there is one application in particular that they would like a link to on the homepage. Unfortunately this application can only be used via the IE tab google chrome extension (I know, dumb) but app devs have yet to add chromium compatibility.
Any way the link looks like this:
chrome-extension:
//hehijbfgiekmjfkfjpbkbammjbdenadd/nhc.htm#url=https://website.com/sub/sub.Hub.aspx
But share point requires a https:// on the beginning of a link.
If you throw that destination into chrome directly it navigates fine, but if you add say https://google.com/ on the front or https://*/ it doesn't work.
Is there a syntax that will allow me to put https:// on the front of this without getting a 404 error?
Never mind, I ended up re-directing this through IIS internally

403 Forbidden - ONLY from my computer

Problem: when I visit particular url the site goes white and the title of the tab says "403 Forbidden" and nothing else happens.
I wanted to ask the forumees here about this weird problem when I, and I solely, cannot access one particular website, until I've run right into very same problem with yet another site just now.
Apparently the problem lies with my computer, and my computer only.
The site IS accessible by everyone except of me.
I cleaned the cache, removed all sh!t files, restarted the modem and the computer couple of times already, to no avail.
I can access those sites via my phone, I can access them from anywhere else but! my computer.
Has anyone stumbled upon such a problem?
There could be a variety of reasons behind this. Your browser, a browser extension, IP address shitlisted for some reason (usually spamming), some sort of virus that gets detected by remote antiviruses and block your connections, some adware or spyware that rewrites your requests...
It's also possible that if you only have problems with those two websites and especially if you did something you were not supposed to, maybe they just blocked you out.
So try using a proxy server or a VPN like strongvpn. If it works then at least you know it's got something to do with your IP address.

Website A 'redirect' to subdomain of website B, with content of website A

There has been a question made towards me recently to do the following:
We have a website with Drupal running in IIS.
On that site is an URL Redirect to a website hosted externally, obviously with a name completely irrelevant to the name of our company.
The question now is the following;
They want to change to URL to a subdomain of our website. Example: from "www.external-site.com" to "www.sub.internal.com" (while still showing content of the external website)
They want the current page of that website to be reflected in the URL bar. So it wouldn't say "www.sub.internal.com", but it would say "www.sub.internal.com/solutions/page1.html" (instead of "www.external-site.com/solutions/page1.html")
It's possible that I forgot another 'condition' but have mentioned before this.
So, if someone visits through our URL Redirect to External-website, it needs to show our subdomain instead of their domain in the URL, AND it needs to show the current page when people start browsing while still using our subdomain in the URL.
Now, I checked the external-website, and it seems that most of the links available are relative links (if this would be any useful information).
Currently, the external website is hosted externally, and will remain to be so for next few years. (I believe we bought the company)
I have been asking around and looking up, and the best possible thing seems to use domain forwarding, but even then it still doesn't seem to comply with the entirety that they asked of me.
I am but a 'simple' .NET programmer, held responsible to do support for anything involving the websites, and I can't say I have extended knowledge about infrastructure. (But I can ask people to do this for me)
Is there anything that could solve this?
Thanks so much!
IIS's URL rewite and Application Request Routing (ARR) combo can help you what you want to achive. Here are few links which may guide you to configure ARR. Please note that these links dont exibit exact solution to your problem however you can take clue from it and fabricate your solution accordingly.

It sounds like you'll want to use a full-page iframe: do not redirect but show a page with an "inner page" instead: that inner page is the external web site. That way, users do not see the external site in their URL bar.

You need to configure the equivalent of Apache Virtual Host with Reverse Proxy on IIS.

Website DNS issue from my machine only

I've created a new website on m6.net hosting using fasthosts in the UK. When I try and load the website from my laptop I get a fasthosts landing page.
If I access the website from another machine it seems to work fine - http://www.validdomainauctions.com.
This would suggest it's not an issue with hosting, but I'm not sure why the domain redirects to a page on domain-holding.co.uk which states the following:
This "website holding" page is displayed when you visit
validdomainauctions.com because the owner has registered the domain
name (or set up a sub-domain), but has not yet created a website.
Without this page, website visitors would see a "Page not found"
error. The holding page confirms that the domain's DNS has been set up
correctly.
I've tried loading the website with Chrome, IE, and Mozilla, and the issue is the same with all of them, so it can't be the browser. I've tried clearing cache etc and that hasn't resolved anything.
I've called ipconfig /flushdns which hasn't helped either.
After a week of being utterly baffled it would seem the issue has rectified itself. Happy days.

Why a same url opens different web pages?

I am facing a strange thing when i open some URL. The URL is (www.jobserve.com)
When i open this URL from my home, it opens some web page. Same url if i open from my office network, i get a entirely differnt URL, which is what i want.
Both, my home and office are in same city in India(3 Km. apart!) but somehow from my home network, i get served a entirely different page which is not what i am trying to open.(The page opening up in the office one is desired one. Office network has proxy/firewall which could be shielding the IP address for opening to outside world!).
My question is why is it happening so, because both accesses are happening from same country/city(but different ISPs though!), so there cannot be a country/IP specific host/content served differently than the global content of the same server.
So what could be happening here?
This raised another question in my mind(when i tried to find ip of the server using nslookup and domain name which returned error - "can't find www.jobserve.com/: Non-existent domain"):-
How can i find IP address of the web server using the domain name other than nslookup which is not working for this particular domain/url?
I recall there were some sites which find geographical location of server and show that pictorially, but i am not able to recall the url for that? Does anyone know?
Thanks,
-AD.
Some sites look at the incoming IP address, lookup where it's coming from and then take various actions they think relevant to you - usually, redirecting you to a more-local site.
Of course, lots of sites react if they think they've "seen you before." For example, there may be cookies that tell them something about you. Or, they may be reacting to your browser.
Sometimes, organizations look at the source IP address and if it's coming from a business they may respond differently than if it's from a non-business ("home") IP.
And, sometimes companies intercept IP traffic and edit it in various ways. This is not normally done to web pages, but if your employer isn't happy with your watching porn at work ( -smile- ), they may do something about it! ...China is well known for doing this type of interception...
I work for an UK based company and all my regional settings are UK based. Moreover the internet is itself from UK so all websites act as if I am from UK.
Google.com goes to google.co.uk
virgin, T mobile ads every where
Does this give any idea about why you are getting a different website in office?
For finding the IP address: don't use a slash. Just
nslookup www.jobserve.com
Alternatively, you can use a website like http://www.domaintools.com/ (there are many others, that's just the first one that comes to my mind).
