Many thanks for that. It now works. It seems the only thing I didn't do was
to have localhost (127.0.0.1) added as a trusted zone. Incidentally, if the
ICS gateway (192.168.0.1) is set to "Internet Zone" it still works.

I've also installed ZA on the client now. Once I managed to see the Internet
I realised that the privacy settings are not propagated from the ICS gateway
(I thought that this would be the case). Either way, it's all working now.
Thanks for the help.
