Saving an existing word document to Sharepoint

Solution to the following problems:

"while i am trying to save the document using save as dialog box,unable to save it to document library.but instead it is getting saved under my documents folder"

"UNC Path of SharePoint Document library not valid"

"We have a user that is having issues with word documents in document
libraries. When she opens a Word Document on SharePoint site and makes
changes to it and then wants to save it back to SharePoint document library,
she is getting prompted for "MyDocuments" on her personal C drive instead of
being provided the path to the SharePoint document library. The user has
Windows XP SP2 and Office 2003 SP2 installed on her machine. She has also
added the Sharepoint site as a trusted site to IE."

The Solution:
•On Windows Server 2003, set the WebClient service startup to automatic, then start the service. You may need to reboot the server for this to fully take effect.

•On Windows Server 2008, install the Desktop Experience feature, then restart the server.

Problem:
"The Folder is no longer available. The web server is busy. Please try again later."
Solution:
Issue turned out to be the ISA server - if you ensure that your Sharepoint Site is excluded from the ISA, you should find the issue disappears!
The issue could also with users using VPN.

Use Impersonation and Delegation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998351.aspx

Delegation of authentication

In Windows, a server can be marked as “trusted for delegation.” This means a server can authenticate to services as if it were a user. The services cannot tell that the request is being made by a server rather than directly by a user.

There are two types of delegation:

Unconstrained delegation: If you select the Trust this computer for delegation to any service (Kerberos Only) check box, the server can access any other service as the user as long as the user authenticated to it using Kerberos.
Note: This setting does not work with ADFS deployments.

Constrained delegation: If you select the Trust this computer to specified services only check box, the server can access only certain services as the user.

The setup for Citrix for Ping must involve Kerberos and is similar to setup for SharePoint front endservers and sql server.

Block Certain Web Sites using Your Linksys WRT54G Series Router

Find the screen shots:
The point is to create a policy name and enter the list of PC's that the policy is going to be applied for, in my case I just gave a range of PCS 192.168.1.0 ~ 254.
If you want to be specific give the Mac Address.
In the "Website Blocking by URL Address" specify the website, skip the "http://" from the front of the URL name or the router will not block access to the website.
You can also block it by "Website Blocking by Keyword" the same way.
