There a fifth setting in Internet Explorer 6 called my computer which is disabled by default.

If you want to enable this, Open registry by going to START-RUN and entering regedit and then navigate to

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER Windows0] and look for the data value called "flags".

Its default value is 33 ("Flags"=dword: 0X00000021 ) .

Change its value 1 and reboot.

Now you should see an option called my computer in Internet Explorer 6 Zone settings.

For Zyxel 645m-a1 modems (Might work on other Zyxel equipment, but I have not tested it personally yet)  The Zyxel modem can also help in determining if you have a Winsock problem.

At the command prompt, type in
ftp 192.168.1.1

If you get an error back that has “socket” in the error, you can deduce you have a Winsock error.

There are various ways to tell if your Winsock is corrupt, or if it is being used by another program (such as a proxy or adware/spyware).

Signs of  Winsock errors and corruption include :

- You try to surf the web but you get 404 errors or errors showing the browser cannot find the server.
- If you do a “release & Renew on your IP address, if you get errors such as:

• An error occurred while renewing interface ‘Internet’: An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.
• Unable to contact driver Error code 2. The operation failed since no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation.
• The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object referenced.
