Browser connections all messed up!

[Guest]

I have XP Pro with both Netscape V.7.2 and Explorer 6x connected to the
internet via a Direcway 6000 and a linksys WRT54G wireless router (this one
is hard-wired). Two other PC's, with ME and WIN2000 are also connected
(Explorer only). The ME box and the 2000 box both connect to the internet
without any serious problems, but I have no end of trouble with the XP box.
I have gotten proxies and settings and nothing allows me to browse without
constant adjustment.

Typically, I can get to non-secure websites without much trouble, but secure
sites are a nightmare. To get to my bank, I have to go into the home page on
the proxy, then switch the settings to direct connection in order to get to
the secure site. This kind on messing around applies to all the secure
websites and some of the non-secure. I'm always switching between Internet
settings.

There's obviously some configuartion problems, but I don't know how to
proceed. I'm about ready to blow the whole disk away and completely
reconfigure, but I thought maybe someone out there would have some solutions.

Any ideas??

You have to re-register the following dll's at the command prompt (cmd).

If you have SP2, you can do it all in one go:

Start>Run cmd [enter]
iexplore.exe /rereg [enter]

Without SP2:

Start>Run cmd [enter]
regsvr32 mshtml.dll [enter]

Click OK when you get the message that DLLRegisterServer in FileName
succeeded and type "exit" to quit cmd.

Repeat the same with:

regsvr32 mshtmled.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll
