Michael,

 Thanks for hanging in there with me. Yes, they do have IE 6 SP 1 128 bit
encryption. Wierd thing though, one of articles mentioned that secur32.dll
would be the 128 version instead of the 56 bit (Export version) that the file
properties are saying. The articles states that if you upgrade to IE 6 SP 1
128 bit, then the secur32.dll would be the stronger one for HTLM v2 if
needed. I don't understand why I am having to go through all this trouble
when MS advertises that the DS client will give connectivity. I may have
never made the change to begine with. Yes, I can go back but what do I gain,
nothing!!
