On our library user network the homepage has been changed to a redirected link to the lycos homepage. Whenever we change the homepage back to the council homepage both on the admin machine and the user machines it still directs to the lycos redirect?? why is this?? is it a bug?

this allows u to lock the home page and it cannot then be hijacked--cheers
