help me understand then. what is function of firewall, if not for something like this? other buttons on the app launch IE, not just help. also, i place url in IE's restricted sites and i am still able to type addy and go there, so now i am not understanding function of IE restricted sites (separate issue?).
i seem to be in need of dummie guide to internet blocking.
cyclic, i think i am approaching 'all else fails' mode. standby ...
thnx.
Setting sites in "Restricted" doesn't prevent you from going to those sites, it prevents those sites from using specific features provided by IE, like ActiveX. Furthermore, your firewall is setup to block the application in question from accessing the internet, not IE. Thus IE is not blocked from the internet.
