I am having a really bizarre problem with a computer at a client site.
The computer is running Windows ME with all the current updates. The problem is that it won't seem to connect to the internet through the proxy server at that site. I say "that" site, because we have brought it in for bench testing and by only changing the proxy server address it connects to the net just fine through a different server.
The puzzler is that networking connectivity is working pefectly fine. I can browse the network and send and recieve files to the server.
Now I know you are thinking that it must be a config issue; ei. wrong server address or something. But I have been through the internet options with a fine tooth comb, and everything is where it should be in regards to proxy info. It has the same config that 12 other computers on the same network are using without any problems.
Network info:
W2K Server running Proxy 2.0
Providing the client files for install
I know that it's not an IP issue cause I can ping other computers inside the network, and I know that data transfer is okay. Hooking another computer up to the same wall jack shows that nothing is wrong with the port. It's so strange. This computer on this network won't connect to the net, but switch networks, change the proxy address and it works fine. The config is the exact same as other computers running the same OS version and browser version.
I can't figure it out!
