Kent,

The problem you encountered is because a library we use (Sarissa) uses 
ActiveX controls, which are sometimes blocked until you modify the 
security settings in IE.  We can't change that programatically and we 
used to throw up a page explaining this, but Sarissa changes the way it 
initializes so I don't think that is working currently.  The good part 
is that I don't think the very strict security settings are very common 
so most people won't encounter this problem.  I would guess that Google 
implements it's client without using ActiveX controls which is why it 
doesn't cause a problem.

The same domain issue is another topic, but we do have a solution for 
that using proxies.

Mike
