After the 'fix', I had the same problem you had. After numerous other
attempts, I entered the address for my modem to see if I was getting to it
thru the router via my network connection. An option bar appeared on the IE
explorer asking if I wanted to enable 'intranet' and explaining that it was
now off by default. I figured, what the heck, I can always turn it back
off. Whalla, everything worked, so I went into IE and set up the security
for intranet to the same as I had for internet and all is well. Sorry it
didn't work for you.
