We have just established that it does - we have some machines on NHSnet (no Dialog access via Athens) and some on an independent leased line commercial network - Dialog works fine on those via Athens. Really annoying!!

Does anyone know if Datastar works via Athens over a
private Broadband connection?

I second Chris’s proposal. This has got
to be sorted.

If someone in an NHS Trust in London with this problem
could invite a Thompson rep around to view this at first hand ASAP perhaps
Thompson could then understand the problem. Cannot believe all the cookies
have been turned off across so many NHS pcs at the same time. This is
getting urgent. Proquest, TDNet and Ebsco EJS are all working so it must be a
Dialog Datastar problem.

Morning
Everyone
I see that Datastar is still not
working, although it did let me do 3 searches before kicking me out this
time. Does anyone know if there has been any progress with this?
Thompson suggested I check that my cookies are enabled, as they can only
replicate the error if they turn their cookies off, but we don't have any
control over that kind of thing on our PCs so I don't know if this is the
problem. If anyone nationally can respond to let us know what is
happening I'd be very grateful so I can reorganise my training sessions for
today if necessary.
Many
thanks
