IE 7 Access Denied Error

(cross-post added to XP Security)

At home my laptop uses Blue Sky satellite Internet and at work uses AT&T
Internet. Coincidentally, the Blue Sky Internet is accessed through a
Linksys wireless router AND AT&T access is through an identical router. WEP
is used on Blue Sky, no security at all at AT&T. Sometimes, after being on
Blue Sky and then getting on AT&T, I receive the following error when
opening IE: "Access Denied (policy denied), your system policy has denied
access to the requested URL." This happens every so often, not all the
time. I make no changes anywhere on the PC to cause this. I have searched
the Internet and it seems there are others that experience this problem.
But NO ONE has the solution. Sometimes it corrects itself. Dell had me
roll back my PC to the previous day and the PC will get online okay. It
seems to me that the issue is going from one ISP to the other. I would like
to know how to correct it when it happens without rolling back the OS (XP
PRO). This error just effects IE, not my sending/receiving mail via Outlook
2003. Does anyone know how to correct this? Thanks, Diane


It's not clear where the error message originates.
E.g. if it is a web message it could be a message from your web server.
If you are networked it could still be a message from a server.
Otherwise it is a message from your PC. For the latter case
you could try using ProcMon to get more clues.

BTW I think that this has more do to with your OS Security than with IE.


Good luck

I have exactly the same situation as described above, i.e, I'm using Blue Sky at one location and Comcast at the other, both with unsecured Linksys Wireless G routers and XP Home.

I'm a relative novice at anything beyond step by step instructions. How
does one do the rollback?

At the moment I've got a relatively new Dell laptop that is completely
useless.

Any new fixes?

Thanks

I am writing this letter to ALL Wireless Router manufacturers.
I have a Linksys Wireless Router Model:BEFW11S4. It is 7 years (yes, count
them, all of seven little years) old. I have visited the Linksys website
numerous times trying to set up the WEP/WPA security on that wireless router
(as all responsible wireless router owners should!). I found that there are
no links to any wireless router setting websites that are congruent with the
screen shots from Linksys' own self help technical support site. I have had
to call Linksys several times to resolve this issue only to be placed on hold
for lengthy times (sometimes my call was dropped and I had to start over ....
how sad for such a large company to have such poorly trained phone
receptionists!), then be transferred (see previous comment about the phone
receptionists) to a supposed supervisor, only to finally be transferred to
someone who tells me that the warranty has expired and wants me to pay $40.00
for the technical support to do the right thing that I want and need to do.
First, the device works fine (as evidenced by this e-mail that you have
just received)!
Second, why should I have to pay for doing the right thing?
Third, if I am going to be EXTORTED into buying a new wireless router so
that I can do the right thing and set up an encryption key for a secure
network, what on Gods' Green Earth makes anyone think that I would CHOOSE to
buy another Linksys product when ALL that I have ever received from them is a
functional wireless router (yes, even after seven whole years) and the
crappiest Customer Service/Technical Support I have ever had the displeasure
to encounter!
I shall copy this letter and try to find as many Chat Rooms as possible in
order to spread the word of ALL that I have gone through with the Chain of
Command at the Linksys phone center, well above and beyond what any
reasonable person should expect to go through, and still have NO RELIEF
concerning my singular issue with their product and its capabilities that I
SHOULD be able to enjoy as the owner of said product! What has happend to
"The Customer Is Always Right" Customer Service mantra (I can't say "In
America" because the call was handled in India)? Is the Customer, the ones
that makes the company what it is through the purchase of products, so
worthless to the company that they can just be treated with abject contempt
and scorn? Is the Customer to thus be trampled underfoot? Are we paying to
be so abused? I, for one (yes, one, the beginning of all), shall NOT be
treated in such manner, and CERTAINLY shall NOT PAY to be treated as such!
In this world of expanding technologies, it shall be those with the
GREATEST Customer Appeal that shall continue to be found worthwile in the
publics' eyes (and pocketbooks) and shall grow to meet the demands of a
growing world - ESPECIALLY in the Electronics Department!
It is now my strongest desire that the Linksys Corporation suffers
irreparable damage and goes out of business for their Crappy Customer
Service! I can only hope that I reach enough people around the world to bring
this desire true!
