ActiveX Test which also has instructions on IE's security configuration

Home Network Control
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If Windows Firewall is installed, disable it or configurate it
suitably. Otherwise it blocks network communication for Home Network
Control. Home Network Control uses UDP 40116 and TCP 62471. The
process name is PcCtlCom.exe.
If not then there is a readme document
