Hi. My 1st time posting here.Nice to meet u all.
I have a problem. My laptop is joining a workgroup (without domain)in my company. I want to access Outlook Web Access (OWA) by using Internet Explorer.
After i typed the address, IE is prompted out a small box ask my username and password. Then i press OK. Unfortunately, the "page is cannot be displayed". Sometimes when i refresh the page, it does work, sometimes don't.

Even the hotmail and yahoo mail also have the same problem. However, not all PCs have the same problem.

My company is using netgear firewall. Is the matter of the firewall setting?OR others reasons? Your responese very high apprecited.

Thanks

It sounds like you have network connectivity issues. I'm guessing lots of dropped packets, but that's just a SWAG.

The fact that only some machines have the issue seems to eliminate the Netgear Firewall, unless you're being singled out by management for special abuse.

I'd try to figure out what the failing machines have in common on the network, like a switch or hub, or a cable run.
