Problem solved (unable to explain reasons why however)

After examining the icwlog.txt errors showing:

URL to the router is http://10.0.0.1
Error 0x80070057 returned from call to Adding routers IP address to
the intranet zone().
Error 0x80070057 returned from call to CNetCommit::DoRouter().
Error 0x80070057 returned from call to Configuring for router
connection().
Error 0x80070057 returned from call to CNetCommit::Common().
Error 0x80070057 returned from call to CNetCommit::Commit().

I began to wonder....what if I add http://routerIPaddress to the
Internet Explorer INTRANET ZONE manually? Same error as shown in the
log file! Invalid format....

HOWEVER .... in doing so I noticed that
the dialog for manually adding these entries appears changed from
that in prior releases of SBS 2003. Three new check boxes are now
listed, and I have to click on ADVANCED in order to view the dialog
shown on the prior 59 SBS 2003 installs we have done in the past
year.

Odd...yes? Version information of Internet Explorer is identical to
that in a server we installed just last week.

Why does this additional dialog appear? I don't know.

How to get around it? I figured that one out! We must remove the
INTERNET EXPLORER ENHANCED SECURITY CONFIGURATION:

ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS>WINDOWS COMPONENTS>INTERNET EXPLORER
ENHANCED SECURITY CONFIGURATION.

Suddenly...the Internet Connection Wizard runs and we have lift off!

I have gone back in and re-enabled the ENHANCED SECURITY CONFIGURATION
without error....unless you should need to run the INTERNET SETUP
WIZARD at which time you will once again expierence the error.

Apparently, either a security change was incorporated into the SBS
2003 package by the latest HP SmartStart Setup Assistant (likely) or
Microsoft Slipstreamed an update into the current release of SBS 2003
Standard (OEM) that has introduced this problem.
