Do I need to set anything in Internet Explorer to have intranet security?
Not usually. When you first install Internet Explorer, it will check to see if you are on an intranet and set address checking appropriately. Your network administrator can also control whether Internet Explorer uses the intranet security zone settings. If Internet Explorer recognizes that you are on an intranet, you do not need to do anything else. If it does not recognize that you're on an intranet, follow these steps to to tell Internet Explorer that you are on one:
To tell Internet Explorer that you are on an intranet
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab, and then click Local intranet.
Click the Sites button.
In the Local intranet dialog box, clear the Automatically detect intranet network check box, if it is selected.
Select all other check boxes, and then click OK twice.
Why do I get an Information bar notice about the intranet?
If you are connected to an intranet but receive an Information bar notice that an intranet address has been detected, it means that Internet Explorer did not automatically detect your intranet. To tell Internet Explorer that you are on an intranet, follow the steps in the section above.
How do I connect to my company's intranet?
To learn how to connect to your company's intranet, you'll need to talk to your network administrator or search for "network" in Windows Help and Support Center. The settings discussed above control how Internet Explorer works with intranet addresses, but those settings will not help you set up an intranet connection if one does not already exist.
But I can tolerate it, and hope to hell it gets better in future SP's. Oh please God make it better!
Good on ya, bro.
