Please log in for more thread options Yes, this is the obvious thing to check first; in IE6 go to tools>Internet options >Connections>LAN and make sure proxy is off and
it detects the network automatically.

The reason you need the VPN is that your default gateway is probably pointing to the gateway IP on the office router. That's NOT the correct way to setup a VPN on a mobile device. However, you may be in luck if only IE6 is NOT working. Start IE6 and go unto: Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections
My first guess(tm) is that you have it set to always dial the VPN
connection or some kind of profile that points to the old wireless card. Try it with "Never dial a connection" and see if that fixes IE6. If not, my 2nd guess(tm) is to select "Lan Settings" on that page, record the current settings so you can put them back if necessary, and clear out whatever is in the "Proxy Server" settings. Also, make sure that "Automatically Detect Settings is *NOT* checked. I dunno if these guesses will help, but it's worth trying. Otherwise, I suggest you have your company IT people set it up exactly the way you want it. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
