Re: After installing SBS 2003 two IE 6.0.29 SP2 clients that cannot to companyweb

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Nathan,

The http://companyweb is accessible through Mozilla, so it's definitely
something to do with IE or the two local stations, although they are
configured the same as the others. All stations use obtain IP and DNS
automatically and all show the same settings when ipconfig /all is run. Same
DNS settings.

The network is firewalled by a linksys router, which also acts as the DHCP
server. DHCP was turned off in SBS 2003. No problems with DHCP either. All
stations including the problematic two can access the internet and have
assigned Ips from the router. The server has only one NIC which is connected
to the local hub, along with the other stations. The linksys router is
plugged into the hub. I speculate that the above infrastructure has nothing
to do with the problem though as the other stations work fine, including the
XP Pros.

- We reset IE to the default settings

- No proxy have been set up in IE

- All XP Pros and IE have been service packed with the latest

- All stations can connect to the internet

- The two problem stations have no problem logging in or connecting to the
server, they just can't connect to http://companyweb without getting the dns
error

- I tried assigned a DNS and Gateway (server NIC, only 1 exists) to one of
the XP Pros, rebooted, but still received the same error

The only thing we didn't try was "Can the problematic clients access the RWW
by using the

> https://ServerName/remote link?", as I'm not sure how this works.

I have no idea why these two using IE won't work. Any assistance you can
provide would be greatly appreciated.

Warmest regards,
