Hi Paul,



This problem can also occur in some corporate environments where users must

authenticate against a proxy server in order to access the Internet. To

resolve the issue:



1. Start the Visual Studio .NET 2003 IDE

2. On the View menu, click Web Browser --> Home

3. A prompt for authentication should appear. Provide a valid username and

password.



Once authenticated the Online Resources tab should function normally.



If that still doesn't work, you can also reregister msxml3.dll using

regsvr32.exe, e.g.:



regsvr32 msxml3.dll

No that's not it.



I already said I am not behind a proxy server. I connect to the Internet

through the local cable company.



I can access the Internet just fine through the .net IDE.



The procedure you stated below:



1. Start the Visual Studio .NET 2003 IDE

Takes me direclty to msdn.microsoft.com through a window in the IDE, there

is no prompt for authentication because I don't need to authienticate to

browse the Internet.



Let me repeat that I can browse the web from within the Visual Studio .NET

Development Environment. and certain items on the online resources tab do

access the Internet. It is only the specific links I mentioned that do not

work.



It sounds like you are under the impresion that I can't access the Internet

at all through the IDE. But that is not the case,, It's only those specific

links that don't work.



Thanks



Paul

Also, can you give me the url of the links that don't work for me. Like the

download link, I will browse them directly through the IDE to see if that

works.

Hi Paul,



Since this can be caused by many reasons, we have to try more resolutions

that I can find.



This problem can be caused by security settings that are locking down the

page load. To resolve, do the following:



1. Close VS.NET and open Internet Explorer

2. Go to TOOLS, INTERNET OPTIONS and click on the Security tab

3. Set the security settings to DEFAULT for all zones

4. Re-launch VS.NET and you should not see this problem any longer



Also, it might have something to do with the user currently logged on to

the system. Please also try the following:



1)	Created a new user account as Local Administrator.

2)	Logged of as current user.

3)	Logged in as new user.

4)	Everything is working normal.



Have you tried reregistering msxml3.dll using regsvr32.exe?



I'm afraid the pages in Online Resources cannot be accessed directly using

a URL. But all the information in Online Resources you need to find can be

get from the following link:



http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/

Hi Paul,



Just have another idea if you have any firewall software installed?

You Got it.



It's the user account. I have been logging in with a domain account. I

created a new domain account in active directory on the the name server

machine, used that account to log into my machine and the online resources

tab of the .net IDE works.



So something is wrong with the user account I've been using. I noticed that

when I look at the user profile setting of the acccount that does not work,

it's 'copy to' and 'delete' buttons are greyed out.



After creating the new account, I manually copied the folders from

C:\document settings\'old user Profile' to the new account name C:\document

settings\'New user Profile' . When I log in with the new account name the

online resources tab of the .net IDE no longer works.



I guess I could just delete my old account name and start over with a new

one. But I have spent alot of time setting up those account name setting. Do

you have any idea what file is causing this, then I can just copy over

everything but the problem file.



Thanks for all your hard work and sticling with me on this issue. It has

been greatly appreciated.



Paul

You're welcome, Paul.



It seems that there is something wrong with the user's profile, so we

cannot copy all the files to the new user. I assume that there might be

something wrong with the IE setting part. To the profile issue, I

suggestion that you can try to ask it in the windows newsgroup, as I'm not

quite familiar with it. HTH.

I was having the same issue and I followed this thread and solved the problem

only on the step for creating a new account, but then I found another way to

make this work on the original account without having to set up another

account. Go into Internet options and on the General tab in the "Temporary

Internet files" section, click the "Delete Files..." button and check the

"Delete all offline content" checkbox (not sure if this is a must or not).

After that, I was able to open Visual Studio and view the "Online Community"

section of the "Online Resources" tab.
