Network install will not load with IE8.
Posted: 30. September 2010 14:57
Hello All,
I may be a little over my head or just have a very unique situation. I am currently running the latest version of Xampp, which has had a few hic-ups over the past two months. I am on a network were IT will only allow IE6 for a web browser. I have Xampp installed on a workstation, and all users using IE6 can access each page normally. I have on user that is using IE8, if the Automatic Configuration Scirpt is enabled, any time he tries to acces the "Local" intranet, IE8 serches and resolves a .com for the local host name. I have changed his host file with the IP for the workstation, still no change. For example, in his host file xxx.xxx.xx.xxx \\networksite, when trying to access http://networksite/elearn, IE8 resloves the address as http://www.networksite.com/elearn. If i disable the Automatic Configuration Script this user cannot access any internet address.
Some back history, both IE6 and IE8 were working before our workstation's motherboard fried. Working with new PC, orignal hard drive, didn't reinstall Xampp. Could this be the cause?
Any help would be appreciated.
