Locked down computer (means I cannot see network settings) allows IE6 but Firefox always times out.

The tech guys have locked down the computer and I cannot see the network settings and have no access to the registry. Firefox always times out so I am forced to use IE6. How to set up Firefox to get round this?

Presumably, you're talking about your company's administrator. It probably wouldn't be wise to try and circumvent their network policy. It might get you fired even.
A better idea would be to show them how insecure IE6 is - ''it's no longer supported by Microsoft for example and exposes their network to all kinds of attacks'' - and that it's in their own interests to use a secure browser like Firefox 4.0
Maybe they'll even promote you!

  • Cannot see emails in the inbox, but can send emails out.  why?

    I bought the Galaxy S III about 3 months ago, and have been struggling to set up my personal email (my own domain hosted by godaddy.com).  my gmail accounts sync up nicely from day 1.
    Today, a tech rep from Godaddy.com suggested that i turn off wi-fi, and set up the account using the phone connection only.  That seemed to work, and i was able to set up personal email accounts (my own domain).
    Issues:  i cannot see any email in the Inbox. Every time i hit the button "load up to 50 more messages", the Update icon would spin for a few seconds, but no emails show up.  the message said "account last synced on date..., time....".  still no emails in the Inbox.
    a) i tried using the email software that came with the phone for the  (the icon has an envelope and a red seal in the middle).  the email was correctly set up, i was able to send emails out, but still no emails show up in my inbox.
    b) i tried using the K9 email app (downloaded from apps market, free).  the email was correctly set up, i was able to send emails out, but still no emails show up in my inbox.
    Does anyone know what i did wrong?  or is something wrong with my phone?
    thanks so much for your help

    good thinking.... I'm trying to set up Outlook 2010 on my desktop.  it's downloading emails from the server, but because i have so many emails up there (50K) for the past few years, it's not functioning properly yet.  i can see the emails and i can move them to different folders (10K emails in Inbox at a time, more get downloaded as i move emails out of the Inbox).  but i cannot send emails out from Outlook on the desktop. 
    wonder if these 2 issues are related.
    i can see, receive and send emails directly on the server (web) no problem. 
      I would try clearing out your inbox as much as possible, and then try it. Maybe it cannot index correctly to download because there are so many. Just a thought.

    Cannot see Cookies with new update of firefox.<br />
    I recently updated firefox, but when I look on the PRIVACY window, where<br />
    websites store cookies, I am no longer able to see any cookies that<br />
    are being stored, and I am not able to delete the cookies as soon as I leave<br />
    their site, as I had been doing for a long time prior to updating.<br />
    So I am wondering where the heck are the cookies being stored now, with the<br />
    new update? I like to be able to delete their cookies immediately, and<br />
    I also wonder why firefox does not make it much easier for us to see<br />
    all the cookies and delete them with one click, instead of having to <br />
    use the &lt;&lt;TOOLS&lt;&lt;OPTIONS&lt;&lt;PRIVACY way of looking at and deleting cookies.<br />
    The option to delete the cookies when firefox closes is not as efficient<br />
    and I will get tracked until I close firefox, and I prefer to not be tracked<br />
    so I like to just delete their cookies as soon as I am no longer using their<br />
    site anymore.

  • What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

    What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

    You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
    Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
    Answer YES to change the security.
    A new window opens:
         Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
         Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
         Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
              Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
              Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
              Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
              Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
              Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
              OK - OK
              Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
              OK - OK
              Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

    My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion...  Help!!!
    Several problems with Mountain Lion, APP STORE (login/logout error), WIFI(802.11n for 802.11g), MAIL (horrible)... Apple, what is happening?   

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

  • Cannot see Networked computers and problems with WEP sign in

    I recently installed a new HD (SAMSUNG HM500LI) into my 2.16GHz MacbookPro running 10.5.5 and transferred all my files using Apple's Migration Assistant.
    Everything seems to have been working fine until I tried to log in to a friend's wireless network using a WEP password. OSX gives me the error message "Commection Timeout". I can however connect to other unsecured wireless networks on the list.
    I have tried deleting the keychain access for the WEP network and reentering the correct password, but no success.
    What I have also realised is that I cannot see other macs on my Network in finder any more.
    Another point worth mentioning is that the Parallels NAT and Guest in Network preferences (for Parallels virtualisation software) have now automatically been renamed to Ethernet... (en2) and (en3).
    I still have my original harddrive in an external casing and booted from that and everything worked perfectly - I can both log onto the WEP wireless internet and see other macs in my vicinity.
    Can anyone help me here please? Are there maybe some settings that weren't migrated with the assistant? Could it be that my file sharing settings need altering? Did I maybe not format the new drive correctly (I just erased the new one and formatted it in Mac OS Extended (Journaled))? Has a recent Apple update maybe upset something, and if so, is there a way to uninstall it?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Robbie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Have you done any Maintenance since installing?
    If not, at start with this...
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, move these files to the Desktop.
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    Then delete the orignals & reboot once more.
    On the WEP PW, try putting a Dollar Sign in front of it, like...
    $xxxxxxxxx
    Also, is the WEP PW exactly 5 or 13 ASCII, or 10 or 26 HEX characters?

  • Cannot see network drives

    I just installed a wireless-n router (WRT610N) and wireless Adapters (WMP600N).  I can access the internet from all computers, but cannot see shared files or print from any computer.  I've run the home network set up wizard and tried many things, but nothing works.
    When I connected with Linksys online chat, I was told that I had to reformat all of my hard drives to fat32 (mine are all running NTFS).  I can't believe this is true.
    Is there any way I can see shared folders and drives with this hardware configuration? (without reformatting my drives)

    Are you able to see the shared folder on the router ? If yes then, Once the set-up page appear, click Storage > Media Server and Enable the UPnP Media Server. Specify Folder to Scan button lets you select content to add to the database of the Router's Media Server. Once you click this button the Media Folder screen appears.Now Check the option Auto-scan click on Scan All and Click on Save Settings.
    Now, On your computer go to My Network Places and you will able to see the shared files and folders. 

  • Cannot see network

    I have a WRT54G wireless router, that is configured for both B and G.  I have two computers in our house that have wireless G adaptors and they both connect to the network just fine.  But I cannot get a computer using a wireless B adaptor to find the network.  Any suggestions?

    As you posted in your reply the error you are getting is "No wireless network found in range, make sure that the wireless switch is turned on"
    Try this setting:
    1) Open my computer properties >> hardware >> device manager >> look for wireless adapter under network adapter >> check under properties if it is showing status working properly.
    2)  If so then uninstall the adapter from start >> all programs >> linksys wireless G adapter >> click uninstall.
    3)  Reinstall the adapter using updated drivers from http://linksys.com/download ....
    4)  Again try to connect to network ....
    Let me know above settings work or not.....

  • New computer, old computer crashed, I cannot see my music folder on my ipod

    My old computer crashed, so I could not deauthorize it with itunes. I read instructions about moving my music folder off my ipod to my C drive on the new computer's music folder, but I cannot see any music folder when I go to "My Computer" and look at my ipod. Any thoughts?

    1. Open My Computer
    2. Click Tools
    3. Click Folder Options...
    4. Click the View tab
    5. Under Hidden Files and Folders, select Show Hidden Files and Folders
    6. Click OK
    I'm pretty sure that these directions are useless because all of the music on your iPod is protected. In order to copy it to your computer, you will need software that does it for you. You cannot just drag it all in.
    I see that you are using Windows Vista... I'm not sure whether that will change whether you can copy your music or if it will change my directions on how to show the music folder.
