I am a domain admin and am trying to access an ordering system online via our corporate Intranet.
When i go to the website i want to order goods from i can logon using my usrename/password for the site.
However when i try to change the date i want my goods shipped by clicking a "Change date" button Internet Explorer throws up a This page cannot be dislpayed error message. Sometimes i get a session cookie may have expired but not always.

I have tried the same order on a couple of PC's at work using using Firefox browser and i can order,change dates etc no probs.

I have tried using the online order system from my home PC also using Internet Explorer and it works ok on both mine and my friends PC, again no problems.

Cleared temp internet files/cookies etc. all to no avail on works PC's Can anyone throw any light on what is happening here.
I've even added the site into trusted sites etc again all to no avail.
Does Internet Explorer deal with session cookies differently from Firefox?

Side by side, compare 2 PC's. One that works with yours that doesn't and compare the Internet security options.

Thanks for the reply but i have already done this and can't see any difference in the Internet explorer options.
What i need to know is how a cookie is recieved into a corprate Intranet does the cookie sit on the local PC?
What location does it sit?

I know when a PC requests a page from the Internet that the PC sends a request to the proxy server and the server then gets the page and passes to the local PC but does the cookie sit on the local proxy as well as the Pc?
