Browsing certain website s with Internet Explorer 6.0

[xixfishxix]

So I have the tweaks2k2 and I changed the browser to IE 6.0 so that websites will think I am browsing with IE 6. This has worked great with my banking sites that will not allow PIE.

I have a certain website I need to access and can not. Either with IE 6 glitch or with PIE. Is there anything I can do, or any program that I can use to access the website in question?

The website is www.ringcentral.com which is where I receive my faxes, so it would be great to access my faxes on the go. FISH

Today I have installed the final purchase version of Netfront 3.3 browser. I clicked on the link you mentioned and was able to fully open it. However going further required a log-in. Since I am not a registered user could not move further.

Why don't you give Netfront 3.3 a try. There is a free trial version available.

Hope this helpes

I tried the site in Opera (set as handheld and set as desktop computer, same as the IE6 trick) and in PIE, all work.

I have tweaks2tweaks set to make NetFront 3.3 show us as IE 6.0 and it is not working. When I go to Yahoo.com it is asking me to move to a higher browser namely IE6.0.

Can anybody please help with this - it is driving me batty!!!

THANKS...

In order to allow netfront 3.3 to behave as a real IE 6 you can write your own user-agent as follows:

1: Go to menu / tools / browser settings and the misc tab.

2: The user agent drop down list will be showing "Netfront v3.3 Standard"

3: From the drop down list select the --- and press edit

4: Under Title enter any name say Real PC

5: In the user agent field very carefully write the following keeping very special care of spaces and colons:

Mozilla/4.0 (Compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0/5.0) Opera 8.60

6: In appName write Internet Explorer

7: In appVersion write 6.0

8: in appCodeName write Mozilla

9: in Language / platform write en and pc respectively and press the ok soft key

Now make sure by navigating to tools / browser settings / misc tab that the user agent you have just written is selected in the drop down list.

You should now be able to access almost any website that the real IE can do. I have had quite a bit of success with this user agent and hope this helps you as well.

I have always used MultieIE and Opera Browser,

Multie IE takes over the pointless included PIE browser and adds tabs etc,
Opera a seperate program, although a little Large in Size its fine when installed to mem card.

effectively and this is active for my Nationwide Tinternet Banking, if a site cant be accessed by Multi then Opera will get it,

At work so cant test it on Multi at the moment, but i will update this post when i get chance,
**edit**
OK Using MultiIE I have been able to get to the homepage without problem but also i have no login details so cant really test it fully

Well, it doesn't need to be THAT complicated. Please read the NetFront 3.3 section in my article "TUTORIAL: Change the User Agent your Pocket PC browser uses to make Web servers think you’re a fully-fledged desktop browser!" at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=796&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 . It's full of screenshots.

MultiIE 4.0 is pretty OK, albeit, now, I'd recommend PIEPlus over it.
