Ruby-WATir Browser opening issue

[mukund]

Problem: Ruby Script which is running perfectly fine with windows2k O/s is not openign IE browser in Win2k3 server Standard Edition. It is Displaying message on windows status bar as 'Detecting proxy setting..'.

Initially we have run same script on same machine many times, but never find this issue. Can anyone experience the same?

Mukund.

Make sure "Automatically Detect Settings" is not checked in IE -> Tools -> Options -> Connection.

Also, the new IE security model in Windows 2003 might be causing some of the problem as well.
