  • To open Internet Explorer in a maximised window

    For the initial window:

    Right click on the Internet Explorer icon on your taskbar and click Properties
    In the Run field, choose the maximized option.
    Click Apply then ok.

    To maximize new windows:

    In the existing Internet Explorer Window,

    Right click on a link and click open in New Window
    After you have opened the new window, close the original (and any other IE windows except the new one).
    Resize the new window (drag the edges) to the largest possible size, then close that window.
    Now reload IE and try opening a new window

    For the networking issue. How are you connecting the two? By router, switch or crossover cable?
