Réf. : HELP with IE Network Problem...

[Francois.Perreault () VMD DESJARDINS COM (Francois.Perreault () VMD DESJARDINS COM)]

The best way to go is to use the 'automated configuration script, such as:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
    {
        if (isPlainHostName(host) ||
            dnsDomainIs(host, ".yourdomain.com"))
            return "DIRECT";
        else
            return "PROXY proxyservername.yourdomain.com:8080; DIRECT";
    }

(8080 is replaced by the port of your proxy software of course)
Save that script in a file called 'proxy.pac', put it on an internal web server,

and point your browsers to: 'http://proxyservername.yourdomain.com/proxy.pac'.

The main issue is that IE only saves it's configuration on a clean exit.
The following .reg file fixed the problem on my system, but other versions of
IE have been known to store the info elsewhere.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CLONE\CLONE\Hardware
Profiles\0001\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyEnable"=hex:01,00,00,00
"EnableAutodial"=hex:00,00,00,00
"ProxyOverride"="<local>"
"ProxyServer"="proxyservername:8080"

Of course, the proxy.pac script is better than editing each machines'
registry by hand!

Objet:   HELP with IE Network Problem...



I know this may be off topic but I was hoping that
there might be someone out there that may be able to
help me.

At my job we have IE set up on our machines using our
network. In the network settings in IE, we have proxy
servers put in along with an exclusion list on the
bottom. We can get that set up fine, and IE works
without a problem, but then usually the next day, when
we log into our machines, the proxy's and exclusion
list mysteriously dissapears. Other times, it will
still be there, but IE wont work at all. We are using
NT 4.0 with SP5. Does anyone out there know what can
be done to keep the settings in there? Or what may be
causing them to disspear?

Thanks in advance!!

Regards,

Adam
