Is there a way in IE to configure a custom error page if a specific URL is
unavailable. We would like to give the end user specific instructions if an
internal web page they are trying to connect to is unavailable. For
instance; if a user launches IE and browses to http:\\mycomp\someapp and the
server or network is unavailable, I'd like them to get a message stating
"someapp not available, call someapp dept. directly at extension 55555 for
assistance". This means this message would have to reside on the local
machine. I remember you can modify error messages on IIS but not sure about
IE. Any ideas appreciated.
thanks,
Jim
