We have a Win2000 server with WinXP Clients. We also have DSL. When we try
to open IE6 for the first time each day, we get the IE timeout screen. When
we hit refresh or just try again, it works fine. This happens on ALL the
PCs. Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
Russell what is happing is that with DSL you have to dail
a phone number to connect once that is done then everyone
is working fine for the day. At night they turn off their
PC next day the same thing. You can go to the properties
of MY network place and edit your DSL connection to auto
matically dail I believe You don't want to stay on line
all the time because of cost this is something you have
to decide but that sure sounds like what it is good luck
 
Russell you may also look at the connection settings in
IE under TOOLS|OPTION|CONNECTION
 
The server is running DNS & DHCP. I think that's where the problem lies.
This connection is always on. The DSL goes from wall to DSL modem to
Netgear router/firewall to network switch.

Thanks.
