If you have physical access to the machine you can run whatever you want on it, no matter what the system administrator does. You might have to jump through some hoops to do so. There are also a surprising number of packages out there that require the user to have administrative software. One of our customers runs Timberline Software (an accounting package I believe, fortunately I don't work directly with them) and that will not work properly unless the user is an administrator. And yes we have told them the software is poorly written and to dump it and no they don't want to switch.

RE: www.freebsd.org won't load in IE 7.x in vista box.
Hi all, after all my frustration finding the answer to this problem, i think I am getting closer to my answer. According to Cisco, it appears a problem with frimware at our rauting level http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps1018/products_tech_note09186a0080743212.shtml , our routers will be upgrade soon to resolve this issue. There is a work around I found in another University that seem to be experiencing the same problem http://8help.osu.edu/3253.html , I am sorry for taking so long to investigated this issue. If you want to learn more about why this issue is happening with vista and Cisco Routers, do not hesitate to read RFC 1323 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1323.txt?number=1323 . Thank you to all of you who try to find the solution to this problem, all the hints were very helpful.

I ask two of my co-workers to go home and test the website in their machines using vista, they did, and were able to access it in IE 7.x and Firefox; however, I still puzzle, why are the machines using windows XP downward able to load the site in IE or Firefox. I know that you or someone else mention something regarding IPV6 TCP window encapsulation at the routing level, yet I am testing vista at work (over 3000 nodes), this is one of the test I am performing before deploying it. It seems weir that www.freebsd.org is the only website experiencing the problem so far. BTW, the FreeBSD servers in out LAN also cannot access www.freebsd.org;as a temporary solution, I have been able to access the handbook via www.uk.freebsd.org . This is a really weird issue that is bothering me and I won't stop until it is solve, sooner or later our client side will be migrated to Windows Vista hence our users are not computer literate to migrate to Unix or Linux at this point in time. I still looking for clues if anyone has found a solution to this, meanwhile I appreciate your effort Gerard and that of many others that have contribute to resolve this matter. Lisandro Grullon To check if it's an problem with IPv6, could you try accessing http://www.ipv6.org or http://www.kame.net ? You could try running traceroute to check for routing problems to see where the problem is. -- Bruce Cran While his reply may not have been the most cordial that I have seen, it was nevertheless quite on point. I have used Vista and IE7 to connect to FBSD without incident. It therefore becomes evident that the problem is germane to you rather than the whole FBSD group at large. Did you actually read the link given to you in an earlier post? You might also try contacting your ISP and see if there is a problem there. You could also just use another browser that is more tolerant than IE7 appears to be in this incident. If you reply again, please lose the 'top posting' format.

RE: www.freebsd.org won't load in IE 7.x in vista box.
Hi Gerard, Thank you for your reply. I really do not understand were the problem is, I am tending to think it is a problem at the routing level now. I ask two of my co-workers to go home and test the website in their machines using vista, they did, and were able to access it in IE 7.x and Firefox; however, I still puzzle, why are the machines using windows XP downward able to load the site in IE or Firefox. I know that you or someone else mention something regarding IPV6 TCP window encapsulation at the routing level, yet I am testing vista at work (over 3000 nodes), this is one of the test I am performing before deploying it. It seems weir that www.freebsd.org is the only website experiencing the problem so far. BTW, the FreeBSD servers in out LAN also cannot access www.freebsd.org;as a temporary solution, I have been able to access the handbook via www.uk.freebsd.org . This is a really weird issue that is bothering me and I won't stop until it is solve, sooner or later our client side will be migrated to Windows Vista hence our users are not computer literate to migrate to Unix or Linux at this point in time. I still looking for clues if anyone has found a solution to this, meanwhile I appreciate your effort Gerard and that of many others that have contribute to resolve this matter.
