I have a laptop running IE 5 that is sometimes connected to my Win2K server and sometimes not. In either situation, I access the internet via a dialup connection. When I'm connected to the Win2K server, my dialup connection succeeds with the ISP, but when I launch IE 5, it seems to only look at my intranet for the location of any url I enter. I can access my intranet site without any problem, but I cannot access any internet sites (IE just sits there trying to find the site).
If, on the other hand, the laptop is not connected to the Win2K server, I can access internet sites via the dialup connection without any difficulty.
I have a desktop machine that is also connected to the Win2K server and it has no problems switching between the intranet and internet sites. And it also uses a dialup connection to get to connect to the internet. So the laptop and desktop are pretty much attempting to do the same thing. I've tried comparing the settings on both machines (both are Win98 machines) and I don't see any differences (obviously, there must be).
Any ideas?
