Topic: Internet Explorer - SME 6.0 problem

[edform]

After spending all day yesterday trying to send my webserver and email server public for the first time, I woke up this morning to a server that I couldn't access via any of the http or https gateways - Server Manager, Twiggi, Webmail, and the main webpage were all dead as a Dodo, and I had no internet connection at all at any of my workstations. Connecting my DSL router direct to a workstation showed that the internet connection was live, and accessing the server admin menu at the console showed that the server could happily connect to the Web. After some hours of hair pulling I downloaded Mozilla and loaded it, now everything works perfectly!!!!!

IE6.01 was fine yesterday, but doesn't work at all today when fed through my server, although it does work with a direct DSL connection to an XP workstation. I know that a Windows update came in last night and was applied to all my workstations, but what can have happened to prevent IE from accepting pages from the server?

To add another observation: I suspect that some, at least, of the SME server manager problems I've noticed in SME6 final may be down to compatibility problems with IE6.01. I can't actually prove this now without breaking my system down again, but I had a similar kind of problem with the HTTP manager programs of my SMC7401BRA ADSL router, in which entries I made in the virtual server [Port forwarding] page were duplicated at random. In Mozilla 1.6 this just doesn't happen at all.

so be happy that you don't need to use IE6 and be happy with your mozilla.
