Thanks for the reply

There should be no settings applied to the proxy. None of the settings in
the GPO appear to reference the Proxy settings. The profiles are locked
down so much that the logon account cannot access the Internet Options tab
in IE.

Is there something in particular I should look for?

Thanks again.

I inherited a GPO that is locking down Employee Kiosk computers and
limiting desktop access. In addition, it kicks off autologin and auto
start of IE with our Internal web page.

The problem is that when they try to access a secure website on an
Internet site (outside of our domain), the page comes back as
unreachable. Other computers on our domain do not have this problem,
only the ones that have this lockdown GPO. This GPO has computer and
user settings, but no that many actually.

What do the proxy settings on the clients look like? Any strange settings
there?

cheers,

Florian
