There are 2 common causes for this problem. First, check for misconfigured or
overlooked firewalls. Both of these scenario can cause a focus change over
time.

Next, check for the restrictanonymous setting.

If no help yet, help us to help you. Provide output from "browstat status" and
"ipconfig /all", and we can diagnose the problem. Please follow these
