Why is IE not displaying pages??
 

I have a client who can use IE6 happily on his office LAN.
Display everything - no issues at all.

His LAN uses fixed addresses through a gateway.

Ive just configured a Siemens S55 Bluetooth phone to hook up to GPRS
for him.

The laptop and the phone pair easily and Dial Up Networking
establishes a connection.

I can ping the gateway, DNS and various remote servers.

However, IE will not display pages. I get 'Connecting to..." but then
shortly after 'page not found'

Neither can I use finger or telnet.

I doubt its spyware or adware as IE generally works normally on his
LAN.
HTTP 1.1 settings are set to 'Use proxy through connection'

Any clues??

Thanks :-)

J.

Is he, in fact using a proxy?
If not, change the proxy setting to "connect directly to internet"
instead.

Tried it both ways, with no luck.
