BAM Portal view is not showing data

Created a BAM activity and a View to use the BAM portal feature for on of my project.
everything was fine, application was populating data in the activities table and view was showing data from the SQL BAMPrimary Import database.
but when i tried to see the data using the default BAM Portal, i could see the View but data was not coming.
there could be lots of reasons for this... will write more about it in other posts... but this time i encountered this...
error was like this
"It says security settings on this machine does not allow data from remote machine"
then i goggled some blogs and found the solution

IE settings needs to be changed..
security-trusted sites-custom level-check radio for - download data from remote.

and restarted the IE it worked for me...
