Hello,

under Settings > Network Settings > Smart Firewall (Configure[+]) > General Rules (Configure[+]) > Add

When I create a new rule to block these 2 sites:

www.googleanalytics.com www.google.com/analytics

I get the error message "Settings - Rules - Unable to resolve the Internet Address(es).  Would you still like to add them to the list?  [Yes] [No]"

I click Yes.  However, I am still able to bring up both of these sites in IE9.  Now I am wondering if NIS's Firewall is working at all!  How can I fix this problem and block these 2 sites?

Thanks In Advance.

Sorry for replying so late but I just now came across your post. I tried this on the 2012 product and everything worked and no problems with resolving occurred. I noted, though, that if I enter any characters besides the domain name I will get the same dialog that you received. The firewall blocks by domain name only so slashes will cause this error.
