Given this latest information, I'd be rather hesitant to even try using Google's images as our network traffic is all NAT'ed and all student traffic from a campus goes out one ONE NAT address and ALL staff traffic on another (in our case x.x.x.204 and x.x.x.205). We currently use Amazon's images with a link back to them and have no problem with this. Giles W.

Google will see individual requests from individual IP addresses from everybody viewing your page. For each IP address from which it sees requests it'll decide whether to block or not. It'll block if it thinks you're harvesting their data. Wageningen University owns the 137.224/16 network, so I find it doubtful that you're all sharing the same IP address. It's probably just your desktop IP address (or, if you're behind a NAT device, the address used by that device - but that's probably only a small group of computers.) That makes it even more concerning that Google's defenses could be triggered by your development and testing activities. Do complain about it to them. (I doubt they change their logic, but you can try.) I've received the CAPTCHA from Google in the past a few times if I use it as a calculator. Enter more than a dozen or so expressions, and it thinks I'm a computer who needs help from Google to compute simple things such as english-to-metric conversions. I think that's a huge drawback, actually. How does Amazon's image service work? Does it suffer from the same issue? - Godmar On Mon, Mar 17, 2008 at 4:50 AM, Boheemen, Peter van <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > As i wrote earlier, I have implemented a link using the Google API in > our library catalog. > It worked ..... for a while :) > > What we notice now is, that Google responds with an error message.
