When users, behind a firewall, click on the Search button the search window appears on the left. At the botton of that window it says 'loading search settings.' Eventually the systems virtual memory is expended and the NT4.0 blue screans. This does not happen on machines outside the firewall. Could this be a Firewall issue or is it a problem in IE5.5 that can be fixed? Recreating users profile helps as long as the user doen't use the search button. We've had to reload seven hard drives inthe past two weeks because the system did not recover.

Well, what does the blue screen say? All you're doing when hitting search is bringing up a site, so bring up that site again manually and see if it happens. It probably has nothing to do with the firewall...

Weird one. Take a look at the Proxy settings on the systems. It sounds as though you may have a proxy server that is not supplying proper responses. Try disabling proxy settings and check for 3rd party dll's related to controlling Internet traffic.
