ok this is a pretty specific issue, but i'm praying someone has some insight.

i recently got my mom on a mac, and her work uses a webmail interface. it functions fine on firefox, but on safari it gives her some sort of "virtual directory could not be listed" error.

whats even stranger is that it works fine through safari when tested on my macbook pro. we can both be on the same local network, and i can log in, and she cannot. and its not a one-off thing either, its been consistently this way every time we've tried since she got the computer.

i've tried clearing caches, resetting safari, i even did a full wipe when i upgraded her to lion, and still her system refuses to connect while mine does.

is there any setting people could think of that i am overlooking that could cause this type of virtual directory error, or is it just another great mystery of life?
