IE 5.5

[ChrisAC]

Has anyone had any problems installing I.E 5.5 with Win NT4. I was running 5.0 but it was causing some problems with one of the sites on our network and so I was asked to upgrade to 5.5 or 6.0.

After installing 5.5 I could no longer browse any web sites. I could still ping sites by name and IP address and everthing else worked fine. But, 5.5 couldn't get to any web sites and chucked out the standard "Page Not Found" Error message.

So, I uninstalled 5.5 and it went all the way back to 4.0, which doesn't work either!! ARRHHHH!!! Now I'm trying to re-install the service pack (6a) and start again.

Has anyone else had this problem??

Make sure it hasn't reset any settings i.e. (no pun intended) LAN settings if applicable.

If I think of anything else I'll post it...

Had a similar problem going from IE4.0 to 5.5 SP2. Needed to upgrade because of scripting errors on intranet page. Tried upgrading from MS download site but ie5setup couldn't locate download servers (?). Found IE5.5 on CD and installed. Couldn't connect to anything. Couldn't ping names or IP addresses. Rolled back to IE4.0 and everything worked! Never could resolve the problem. Finally gave up and left it at IE4.

It's sorted! The problem was that Zone Alarm had knackered up my TCP/IP stack. Uninstalled Zone Alarm, re-installed TCP/IP and it's all working .. on IE 6.0 as well!!
