Internet Settings - Multiple users


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a computer which uses WinXP Home and IE6, and is configured for two

users. There's a DSL router, but no other firewall.

 

The main user's internet connections work fine. But the secondary user's

settings have a problem. For the secondary user, only certain websites can

be accessed. For example, I can log into Google, but the result of any

search is an error message to the effect that there's a problem with the

internet connection.

 

In some cases, such as Drudge Report, I can get an abbreviated web site, but

with no pictures, and whose internal links produce the same error message as

above.

 

When I run Tools | Diagnose Network Settings, I get a long error log which

references problems with the HTTP connection and error # 12029

 

I assume that internet settings are separately set for each user. But how

can I examine each to compare, and then where would I make the changes?

Is one of the users using a proxy of some kind?

You could create a scan report for each user and then compare

the reports. E.g. Run... netsh diag gui

 

Also there is a new troubleshooter you may find helpful:

Good luck
