Hi Brent, thanx for your reply... answers inline.

Interesting, will look at that. It works for Windows 2000/NT4/9x, and I have not touched
the firewall for months. So I would assume it is a requirement of XP only.

> Can you ping the Intranet servers IP from the XP box?

I can ping and telnet to any of the hosts. I can even telnet to them on port 80. It is
just IE that is having a fit.

> If so, can you ping by FQDN?

Yes.

> If so, is there a proxy inbetween?

No.

> Is the poptop server on a Firewall configed for proxy access but not http?

The poptop server has no firewall, but their is a Cisco in between them and http is
enabled.

Yes.

I can't believe I did not edit those out, I normally 203.x.x.x them. Not happy about that.
The server is in a DMZ, We have a Class C and using the 203 subnet which helps with smtpd
rules and a number of other firewall variables.
