Hello:

I have insert a proxy in LAN settings and find that the proxy address and port values have unchecked
and the boxes greyed out Randomly.
Any ideas?

Hi Alan

You do not tell us the version of WIndows you are using, but, you might try
the following and see if it will help:

Go to Tools> Internet Options>Connections
Click the Lan settings button.
Uncheck "Automatically detect settings".

My proxy settings disappear every time I log on.

It is also possible that some type of spyware or malware on your system that
is causing the problem. Check the information here and make sure your
system is free of any scumware.

Be aware, there are many types of scumware that your antivirus and some
removal tools cannot detect or remove. Therefore, use the programs as
described in the instructions here. Some variants can continue to replicate
themselves each time your computer starts up if not properly removed.

Hope this helps.
