Dual network settings

[Alan]

My Vista (Buiness. Edition) connects to a network through a proxy
server at work. How can I set up a separate "profile" (not sure of
right term) so I can use other network settings at home (no proxy) but
not mess up my work network configuration?

I get "cache access denied" in Internet Explorer. I researched
this, but the other problems with this symptom do not appear to
apply. I think the problem is the proxy setup.

Your administrator should take care of this issue. For example he should
setup domain group policy so that the proxy settings only apply when you
logon the domain. If you do have administrator privilege, you may disable
the proxy manually or or create a batch file to make the change when you are
at home. This how to may help.

Jack,
It was not obvious to me how to specify all the proxy, etc.
settings for the Alternate Configuration, i.e., all the settings you
can make for the primary network, TCP/IP, etc. (like proxies). Can
all that be set up?

After trying several other suggestions with no luck, I changed
Internet Explorer to turn off the use of the proxy server. Then the
Internet connection worked.

Is there any way to control all of these settings in Windows and
IE with the flip of a switch or by running a script? (This is a real
pain.)

Thanks, Alan
