It is also possible that the level of security in the internet cafe firewall prevents users from accessing certain secure internet pages (https -- like the epay page).
The e-angel Portal Solution relies on industry best pracice architecture and open standards for the most cross compatible web experience; however, the nature of the web and users running multiple platforms, browers, and set up in a variety of environments inevitably generates some issues. Here is how we go about addressing common web browsing issues.
To help diagnose the issue:
What browser are you using and what version?
What operating system are you using?
Are you behind a network firewall?
Do you have a firewall on your computer?
Do you have a pop-up blocker turned on?
AOL users reporting issues typically resolve their problem by launching the Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers instead of the default AOL browser when trying to access secure pages.
Macintosh users reporting issues typically resolve their problems by using the Safari browser (the default Apple browser) or Firefox. Internet explorer is not supported by Microsoft on the Macintosh and does not render most web pages correctly on the Mac.
Users behind a network firewall may be blocked from accessing certain secure (https) web pages because of the rules set by the network administrator on the firewall. These users should contact their network administrator for assistance or attempt to to connect from home.
Users running MS Internet Explorer may have either an increased security setting (which should be reset to the default) or may be blocking Java Script. These settings can be found under Tools > Accounts.
Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari alow the user to disable Java Script in their security settings. Java Script should be enabled for optimal site performance.
