When going to Tools InternetOptions Security LocalIntranet Sites,
my IE7 has all of
 Include all local (intranet) sites not listed in other zones
 Include all sites that bypass the proxy server
 Include all network paths (UNCs)

(I do not know whether those are default settings; that last 
setting
seems dangerous or at least counter-intuitive.)
