IE7 in Vista business is giving problem

Hi ,

we have Vista 32 bit installed at my office. We use it for software
testing with different O/S and browser configuration purposes only. But
I am having a problem browsing internet using IE7. That is in my company
whenever we launch any browser we go to one of our secure web server
there we enter a useid and password then we get connected to internet.
But IE7 is not laucnhing this secure web site. I am getting a
message"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". However if I
launch Mozilla then It prompts me to enter the userid, password(which is
actually the company id , password given to all associates) then it
authenticates us then takes us to the itnernet. Now after doing this
step at Mozilla browser my IE7 works. that means In IE7 there is
soemthing that is blocking us to go this website. Any ideas ...pl
share... Also when I type this url in IE7 by myself I am getting this
error"Could not connect to eh secure Web server".

Thank you

You mean your company is using a proxy server where you must give a user-id
and password to get pass the proxy server and out to the Internet? I don't
think your company's Web server has nothing to do with this.

This is questionable as to what you're talking about here.

You have to be getting more messages on the page, other than, webpage
cannot be displayed in the verbiage on the page.

What website are you talking about?

Is the fact that you gave a user-id and password to the proxy server
software that you can now get to the Internet with any browser, because you
have been authenticated and therefore the proxy is not asking anymore?

Is this secure Web Server using HTTPS?

I am still string to figure out what you're talking about with this secure
Web server thing.

Hi guys! thanks for your replies....Arnold you are right...I was not
clear about what I was talking....LEt me explain again....In our company
whenever we connect to a system we first give our userid, password then
we enter into our network....but the same thing if we click workstation
only check box on our machines then at that time we won't be connected
to our network(which I think is pretty stright forward) but if we are
browsing the internet on this machine (having no connection to our
internal netwrok)for ex: if you type google.com or any other address it
first takes us to the page wherein we give our userid , password then it
authenticates us and after that ..we can browse internet without any
problem....But the same step is not happning in IE7. here when we type
google.com or any other website we are not automatically routed to the
authentication page ...instead we are getting the error
"Internet explorer cannot display the page
Most Likely causes:
You are not connected to Internet
the Website is encoutering problems
There might be a typing erroor in the adress
What you can try:
Diagnose the problem
More information"

Thank you.

Wow! This worked. Its a great Solution. Thanks so much for the help. As
in the document I disabled the TSL. I am now routed to the Certificate
error warning page. But upon further analysis I found that it is due to
"phishing filter settings in IE7" which I have disabled and everything
is working fine now...Thanks to all for your help.
