I.E. Internet vs. Intranet

[Rhonda1223]

OK, I'm pretty sure this is just a setting that needs to be changed, but I can't find it.

When typing in a URL in the address bar in Internet Explorer, if I don't type in '

http://www.',

it still searches for the internet rather than the internet. Example:

I'm trying to go to my intranet homepage called 'companyhome', so in the address line, I type in 'companyhome', but rather that going to

http://companyhome,

it attempts to locate

http://www.companyhome.com.

Any ideas how I can get this to point to my intranet? Thanks.

Rhonda

Just type the path and filename in the address bar like:

C:\somedir\companyhome.html

No, that's not the problem. It's an intranet site. If you just type 'companyhome' on some machines, it goes straight to the company's home site. On other machines, it attempts to find that on the internet (

http://www.companyhome.com).

Can you ping companyhome ?

does it go to the correct page if you type

HTTP://companyhome?

Look in the Tools>options>connections>LAN Settings>advanced area. Down in the bottom box put in the intranet site to bypass the proxy server that lets you onto the web. Michael Phipps
