I am not able to activate OneNote as it does not seem to be able to navigate
the company firewall. I have not had this problem with any other product,
Microsoft or other until I started running the 2007 Beta's. I have no
problems with my personal network account, it works fine.

The error is that the activation process cannot find the internet. It asks
to "please connect to the internet and try again". I have tried for weeks to
resolve this with no results.


Is there some other way to activate OneNote? Is there a way to manually
configure the internet options to let it pass through and activate?

The Office 2007 activation servers should be running again. When did you
try it the last time?

The last time I tried was last week. The first time I tried was when the
Beta was first offered. I have tried 30 times in between. I have been told
many time to re-try and re-install. The activation process cannot reach
internet via the company firewall. I have done this at the precise time I
have activated on my personal account several times. Personal account
works....company account will not work.

The activation servers had issues for the past two weeks or so. Try
again, the issues should have been resolved yesterday.
