I've got a problem at my workplace. There's a computer used for
shipping. Somehow, though, browsing using IE has been disabled. This
was done because people were abusing the internet while they were
supposed to be working. My boss doesn't remember how this was done.
The problem is, he needs to access the internet via IE to resolve a
shipping issue. Does anybody out there know how someone could have
disabled IE? The browser will load, the computer is connected to an
internet-enabled network, but browsing doesn't work.
 
hi peter,

the info you had provided is really not sufficient enough to understand
why this situation is occuring.

Please provide more details about the error (if any), check whether any
policies have been enforced on local system, IE's settings. Only once
some info is available, can we try to troubleshoot this situation.

thanks
 
IE's settings are all normal, no policies that I know of. I'm not that
knowledgable of policies, but after searching help I found something
called IPSec. That is not enabled. I even looked in the registry for
some kind of key that would disable browsing and nothing was there.

I know this probably won't help, but it's all the data I could gather.
 
I'm guessing the setting probably isn't within IE but in Windows [or in the
network equipment such as router, firewall, proxy server etc. that connects
you to the Internet]. General TCP/IP connectivity troubleshooting is in
order.

Go into the TCP/IP settings in Start, Control Panel, Network, check the DNS
settings and the default gateway settings, see if you can or cannot ping
various things on the local network and Internet, etc.
