Internet Problem

[SYNACK]

You could have a look through these and see if any of that helps:

internet explorer cannot display page - microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general | Grupy dyskusyjne

 

the other thing that you could try is reducing the timeout value on your DNS server, this will make the DNS server requery the address of any site quicker if it is slow to respond and hopefully pass that along to your client before it times out (if this is the issue)

Ok, just joined a new machine to the domain. No IE add-ons. Correct proxy picked up from GP, and is the same in registry.

Also tried shorterning to the timeout value from 5 to 3 seconds on DNS. Still the same.

Grrrr. Me is thinking something with dns could be at fault. In DNS its set to 193.164.97.35 and 212.44.55.100 which are our isp.

DNS should be setup as your DC first, then your ISP second and third...

Thanks Michael. Forgot to mention that was on the forwarders in DNS itself.

 

Got a little bit further with this. Seems the delay is no longer apparent for administrators or staff, just for pupils?

[karldenton]

OK, almost there I think !!

 

If you log onto a machine as someone whos hasnt before, you get the error. If you open Internet Options, make no changed but close it again, there is then no delay. Even after a restart. Obviously this is a pain for staff but pupils don't have access to IE Options. Any ideas? At least we know where to look now !

Any more ideas on this. Its as thought its not finding the proxy on the first page load. Then afterwards its ok. I've logged on as a new user and the correct one is in the registry (Current_User) before they open IE ??
