Group policy only applied after restart

[mihouser]

I have a policy in IE7 to use our proxy and also not let the user change the
settings. The only way to get this to apply to my XP SP2 machine is to
restart. I have tried gpupdate, gpupdate /force and gpupdate /sync. Nothing
seems to work. Is the only way to get this policy to work is to restart? My
GP is in the "User Configuration" not the "Computer Configuration". Is there
something I have to but in the windows firewall for this to work? I am using
the Group Policy Editor.

Windows XP SP2
Windows 2003 Server

Hello mihouser,

Make sure that the clients only use domain internal DNS servers and no external
on the NIC configuration.

My users are only using internal DNS servers P: 192.168.xx S: 192.168.xx

Thanks

Is lookback processing mode somehow involved in GP processing?
