Hi there
WHY MS do you have to make Enable protected mode an all or nothing setting
I have a Media server that needs to open 127.0.0.1:9000 but this fails unless I turn OFF enable protected mode
All I need is for this site (local host at 127.0.0.1) to be an exception.
Anybody know if this is possible to do. (IE11 in Windows 8.1)
The program is actually Logitech Media server -- works fine normally until IE11 had this thing about Protected mode.
Before I found the trick I did all sorts of things like disabling IPV6 (registry entry needed) etc to no avail --kept getting couldn't access the site !!! (localhost !!!!).
If you really need to disable ipv6 in Windows 8 / 8.1 then do it this way
4 x 4GB DDR3-1600 Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B (16GB)
Graphics Card(s)
MSI GeForce GTX770 Gaming OC 2GB
Sound Card
Realtek High Definition on board solution (ALC 898)
Monitor(s) Displays
ViewSonic VA1912w Widescreen
Screen Resolution
1440x900
Hard Drives
OCZ Agility 3 120GB SATA III x2 (RAID 0)
Samsung HD501LJ 500GB SATA II x2
Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 1TB SATA II
Iomega 1.5TB Ext USB 2.0
WD 2.0TB Ext USB 3.0
guess I never bothered with IE security settings in the past -- but there's a whole new "Cyber crime" industry out there now - these things weren't even in the realms of SCIENCE FICTION when I first started using computers. !!!
BTW if you use SILVERLIGHT then all bets are off -- DOES NOT WORK.
