At Bangor we have also switched to IP authentication for accessing Web of
Knowledge since this seemed to be the only way to search WoK via MetaFind.
Our WAM entry for WoK is *.mimas.ac.uk.
When you access WoK using IP authentication you are taken to an interim
page listing services avaialble at
http://portalt.wok.mimas.ac.uk/portal.cgi
Subsequent WoK pages are also at
http://portalt.wok.mimas.ac.uk/...
I suggest you add another entry in your WAM table
portalt.wok.mimas.ac.uk
in addition to the entry you already have
wok.mimas.ac.uk
You may also want to try a single entry (or you may have done so
already)
*.wok.mimas.ac.uk.
