Windows 2003 IE problems..

Hi all,

I recently installed Windows 2003 Server on my desktop machine.
Once everything was intsalled (including the network & IIS
components), when I fired up my IE 6.0, it gave me Page Not found
error. Whatever URL I type in, it gives the same error.
Whats more baffaling to me is that, I can connect to other
computers in my Network Neighborhood fine. I m able to copy data off
them too. But however much I try to connect to Internet using IE, it
just wont happen. Is there any setting I am missing in W2k3??? Or
something special needs to be done??

all the help will be greatly appreciated,
thanks,
bhai

Did you disable Enhanced Security?

Do you have DNS installed on the machine?
