Hi,

I'm having some trouble with windows (2k, sp3) and can't seem to figure out
how to solve it, hope someone here can help me.
The problem is that I cannot use internet explorer (6) when I log in as a
restricted user, if I log in as power user or admin everything works fine.
Internet exp. starts up but can't connect to the internet. I've checked the
following:

-there is internet access (even when I log in as restricted user I can do
pings or nslookups)
-I've got the necessary rights for the tmp/temp directories and windows
knows how to find them
-there's no setting in the local security policy that looks suspect.
-there's no firewalls,routers that should cause the problem.

well, that was about all I could think of, hope someone can help me because
other than re-installing windows I don't see any other options....

regards,

Igor
