Is there a way to set a users IE home page to one URL when the user is
connected to the corprate network, and completely different URL when
the user to their home network?


Thanks

Not the same Windows User.
I would put a shortcut to one on the desktop and use that to open IE.

You'd have to know what the differences between the two sessions were,
in terms of script-accessible variables. Then it could be relatively easy
to have a local home page which just did a redirect.
Alternatively you could use the variables in a startup script to change
the registry value which holds the Home page URL.

Does it really have to be a Home page change? E.g. the only reason
to have a "Home page" is to be able to *re-open* the first URL in new tabs
or new windows. But opening About:Blank (for example) is much faster
--which is why About:Blank is my Home page and would be regardless
of what my connection was.

Otherwise opening the first URL at startup could be done by a startup script
which simply picks a URL to open, again depending on whatever it is
that can be used to identify the different connection.

BTW you're unlikely to find much help with scripting issues in the IE6 NG.
Cross-posting to a Scripting NG for convenience. Unfortunately I don't know
if that NG is well-read or not. There are other forums (e.g. the MSDN forum
for web development) which would be able to help better too.

Good luck
