Getting XML to display properly

My office is having to produce XML files (presidential directive to share
data). We are using Apache 2 to serve up the raw XML pages (on a classified
network), the client browser is having to compile the XSL files. We have
various mandated XSL stylesheets making numerous modifications. We didnâ??t
see any problem and have has several customers around the world able to see
the pages without a problem. We canâ??t get some important data to a customer
(we wrote several reports in XML, posted them and nothing but the combined,
raw XSL data). The rest of our community can see the exact same pages
without a problem (tested various XML files at various locations with various
network configurations). This group has a Windows 2003 domain, security is
normally VERY tight in their area so I expect their domain, security rules
are very tight as well. This customer is using Windows XP Pro on client
systems and Windows 2003 for domain controllers. Other WinXP systems on
Windows 2003 domains have no problem. Our Win2K systems running on Server
2003 are not having any problem.

I really need to help get these folks to view our reports properly. Do you
know of a domain security issue that might be impacting this?

If there is one it would likely be in the Internet Explorer admin template
delivered settings. Ask them is they have issues with other browsers,
and then if it is IE specific try asking in an IE newsgroup where people
might recognize just what IE setting might be at issue.

Roger,
Thanks for the tip. After posting I had a couple thoughts. Our reports
can be viewed at the customer site as long as the format is HTML so I don't
think it is a cross domain issue (IE security setting). Unfortunately, our
use of XML doesn't render in FireFox or Netscape 4.7 or 7.x (here on the dev
side or on the distant end).
Anyone else have any ideas?
