Big Sigh. If you told us what you mean by "get to my corporate
Intranet" we may be able to point you in the right direction.

Then it certainly isn't an IIS issue. You may want to check with your
company's "networking/proxy/IIS guy" for help in diagnosing this.

Do you need to authenticate to use the site? If so, IE won't pass
credentials for a zone it knows is outside it's network and not in the
intranet zone. Add your corporate domain to the intranet zone and you
may be working fine.

These are all guesses, since you don't tell us what makes you think
you're not getting into your intranet. Error messages, event log
entries, web site log files, all would give some indication of what's
happening.
