We are running Windows 2000 Server with IE 6 SP1.
Hi,
We find that we are not able to connect to Internet. On the other hand,
we
have installed Firefox and it connects to Internet with no problem at
all.
Then I try FTP protocol with IE 6 and it is also working fine.
I have searched the web and it seems that a number of fellows have the
same
problem but there is no solution yet !
The main problem is that IE 6 cannot connect to Internet means that we
are
not able to run Windows Update. We would also like to know does
Automatic
Update still work fine in this case ?
Thanks
Peter
