Don't know if it's off topic or not, but I'm getting odd behaviour on a
client PC in Internet Explorer 6, when right-clicking on a link and
selecting "Open Link in New Window".

Initially, there are no problems, but after a while when I follow the same
procedure, the new window opens up, shows nothing and eventually times out
with "cannot find server or DNS error". On the other hand, if I first open
a new IE window and paste the link into the address bar, the page always
opens just fine. Tried this on another workstation, didn't experience the
same problem. On the problem workstation, newsgroup browsing with OE is
problem-free, and pinging the URL's shows no problems.

Client is Win2K with SP4, using Firewall client and SecureNAT connection
through ISA server.

Can anybody point me in the right direction here - should I be looking at an
IE setting, an ISA setting, a firewall client setting, or something else?

Thanks, Susan - I'll give it a try. Just a question though - who normally
sets this option? Is it the user, IE itself, or ISA when the firewall
client is installed? If it's the user, howcome I haven't come across this
with other users?

Regards

Andrew
