    I have Live Mesh working on my vista system, but I had to use Firefox to get to the website and download the client. When I try to go to www.mesh.com on IE it gives me an error as if my internet connection is not working. However, when I go to www.mesh.com with Firefox I have no problems at all. I know that there are some features that are IE only, and I would like to test with IE as well... IF anybody has any suggestions as to how to fix this issue, please let me know. This is a clean Vista Ultimate install with all of the current updates...

    Try the "hammer" solution on one PC that is experiencing the problem. Open IE7, go to Tools/Internet Options/Advanced. Click the reset button. It clears everything out and resest to default settings. See if that helps.

    Hi Rwlyonsjr,

    Thanks for trying Live Mesh.  Could you please check your connection/proxy settings for IE?  To do this: In IE go to "Tools"->"Internet Options"->"Connections" Tab->"LAN Settings".  See if checking only "Automatically detect proxies" and unchecking everything else helps.  Also, could you describe your network topology (i.e. are you at work, behind a firewall, etc.).

    Thanks,
    Todd

    That did not fix the problem. I am accessing the network behind a standard NAT, nothing special. We have an internal 10.0.1.XXX networking going... I have this same problem from various places...

    Great. I would suspect that something was configured in IE that blocked mesh functionality. It could have been an add-in, a security setting, or even a privacy setting perhaps.
