Hi Guys,

Just installed Windows Server 2003 to test on my machine. When I connect to Internet, I see that Firefox does not detect the connections.

I am able to open pages only in IE (N it Sux) I have also found that none of the other software or applications other than MS, can detect network settings.

I login as the admin and Examples are AVG cannot find Connection to update, Neither does FF nor Realplayer... N a whole bunch of software.

I belive there needs to be a security setting that needs to be changed, but I am not sure which.

Please help......

The software application is dependent on each OS:confused:
If you try to install applications downloaded for XP,it will definitely not work in Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition:x
Try to download the respective software package for Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and then post about whats the result:)
