We recently installed a new T-1 line for dedicated access. Now, after all that, most clients with WIN98/IE 5.5 can access, some cant. The settings are the same. I have noticed that the ones who cant have MY COMPUTER showing up in the ZONE bar at the bottom right of the browser. I have never seen this before. Any help here would be great.

Do they have IP configured correctly?
Is all the netwoking components configured correctly?
Is IE configured correctly on how to connect to the internet (LAN, Modem, Proxy,)?
If you run on a strictly IP network are those computers able to access the LAN?
