Design view wont display external images/css etc

[brinked]

My dreamweaver will not display external images or stylesheets in design view. I am behind a network and have to configure my browsers for it to browse the web..how can I do this for dreamweaver? I have looked everywhere inside DW and there is nothing that allows for this. thanks for any suggestions

where are these "external" iamges and css?
most likely is the path issue.

I have been using dreamweaver for about 8 years now and never had this problem on my home computer or the places I used to work for. My current company is behind a firewall and I believe that is the reason it cant read them. The path to these images/css files are on an external site, I have the path settings correct.

hi brinked,
ok, firewall would do it...as well as hotlink protection on the external site.
can you access the file by hitting the url of

http://external-site.com/file.css

?

"...have to configure my browsers for it to browse the..."
there is nothing on the DW side that you have to do, only on the system...perhaps your company is using a proxy,firewall,spyware box.

Also check your local firewall and add DW.exe as excpetions as well as talk to your admin about possibly blocking your external-site.com.

All the best!

my company does use a proxy...I had to configure these settings in IE and FF in order to access the internet. I asked the systems admin and he said the way its setup there is no way to add an exception.

and yes, I can access the files fine when typing the paths into my browser.

Does anyone know how dreamweaver connects to the internet and where I can possibley set these settings?

thanks for your help.
