xp Sp2 -

Website Incompatibility?

We recently installed XP SP2, and since then I have been unable to access the websites I run with their domain name, however I am able to access via URL. I am using a URL Frame, cloaking the domain name so that the domain name is always present, when the sites are hosted on my ISP's server.

Is there an issue with XP SP2 that prohibits URL Framing?

For example, one of the websites I'm trying to access is [example.com...]
That's the domain name, but the actual site is at [example.neondsl.com...]

When I type in [example.neondsl.com...] ; I am able to access the website, but when I go to [example.com...] I get a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error. Does anyone know of a setting that I can use to correct this?

Thank you!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think SP2 adds some security settings to IE to stop website spoofing. IE may be blocking this, check the settings in IE.

You could check for a JS redirect/framing script. This could possibly be blocked by SP2 depending how the script works.

There is a setting in (Tools > Internet Options > Internet Security) "Navigate Sub Frames across different domains".

If that is disabled by default installation that could be the problem. Initial install is pretty agressive in blocking stuff like that and is different than the "Default Level".
