Internet Explorer Access Control error message. Help!!
HI,
On my laptop (Windows XP Microsoft IE6) i can connect fine with a dial up connection, but when I use the wireless LAN card, I can use all other internet applications escept IE (eg Messenger etc) but not view web pages. I am able to view https:// pages, but not those beginning with http://. What settings do I need to change to allow this. I have put the security down to low and it still dosen't work. Appreciate any ideas.
Thanks

Richard:
HTTPS seems to work which rules out DNS, no ?
invalid:
Dialup works fine ? Wireless doesn't ? How do you get your Internet connection through wireless - broadband ? Is there a firewall (perhaps on an ADSL router) in the way which is blocking it ?
Also, I'm no XP expert cos it's not on my lappy yet, but I'd check the internal firewall settings too.

The Nr Fairy,
You are correct. I miss read it. (Thought he could get Messenger but not HTTP/HTTPS.)
In that case in IE, go Tools >> Internet Options >> Connections >> LAN Settings
And make use there is a checkmark in Automatically Detect Settings.
If that does not do it, under Network Connections, make sure the Wireless NIC does not have the Internet Connection Firewall checkmarked.
Take Care,
Richard
