Belkin Router F5D6231-4 using Wine and ies4linux

I had a Belkin F5D6231-4 Router, and I was not able to add Virtual Servers and Port Forwarding through Mozilla Firefox/Epiphany because of some problems. So I went ahead and got ies4linux from here. Then, I followed the instructions (generic instructions on the site Just Work (TM)). After that, I had this in my ~/.wine/config:

WINE REGISTRY Version 2
;; All keys relative to \\Machine\\Software\\Wine\\Wine\\Config

;; If you think it is necessary to show others your complete config for a
;; bug report, filter out empty lines and comments with
;; grep -v “^;” ~/.wine/config | grep ‘.’

; the native advapi ie setup uses doesn’t implement RegQueryInfoKey, which we use in GDI font engine init code so stuff breaks
; Here’s a quick fix (really the only fix, I dunno how we can stop this except by changing GDI not to use RQIK which is a slippery slope

I believe that I got this wine config from Ubuntu Forums.

Then, I just ran ie6 from my home directory, and connected to my Router Setup Home

Then, I was able to edit port forwarding, etc. Hope this helps someone with Ubuntu and this particular Belkin Router.
