I also wont disable mine but, it was part of a learning/exploring exercise on my part.....
im a bit mystified as why disabling a firewall is fixing the prob.....maybe its just a fix around the prob...or the firewall is tightened down to much.
Ive 2 pc's running xp pro sp2 ie6 sp2.....both have the firewall turned on in XP.....both are connected to a wireless router, again with firewall turned on......this in turn is connected to an adsl modem.
I get no probs accessing vxon
Heres a snipit from technet on MS site.....you could try this.....if you havent already
Internet Explorer, the Web page is not displayed correctly. The Web page may be blank, or some of the functionality of the Web page may not work as expected. This behavior occurs even though the word "Done" is displayed in the status bar.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, add the WRQ Web site,
http://www.wrq.com, to the Trusted Sites zone in Internet Explorer. To do this:1. Start Internet Explorer (if it is not already started).
2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3. Click the Security tab.
4. Under Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings, click Trusted sites, and then click Sites.
5. In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type
http://www.wrq.com, and then click Add.
The WRQ Web site is displayed in the Web sites list.
6. Click Close, and then click OK.
Obviously changing the WRQ reference to the vxon web address
Cheers
