Works fine for me, both for the default Hijack interface as well as for CharcoalGray99's XML interface.

Did you do something to IE in the intervening time, such as adding ad-blocker or popup-blocker software? I found that after installing ad-aware, I had to put "http://empeg" on its trusted sites list or certain Javascript features like popups and the screen refresh didn't work.

Also, did you add anything to config.ini to "secure" the empeg? Certain parts of the ethernet connectivity can be configured to deliberately fail so that those connected over the network can't hurt it.
