Lan Settings/Proxy

G

Guest

Hello, (Windows XP Pro)
I use dial up and was having problems staying connected. i noticed that in
LAN settings that the proxy box was checked- so i unchecked it and everything
was fine.
but when i open up IE the proxy box is always checked again!
does anyone know why it would re-check itself all the time?

Thank You
Kevin

If you use a backslash (\) instead of a slash (/) in the proxy server's
address, the settings may disappear and Internet Explorer will not find the
proxy server.

If you are using the IP address for your proxy server, make sure you do not
include leading zeros. For example, use 192.168.0.1 instead of
192.168.000.001.

Otherwise, you can try booting into safe mode and making your proxy settings
there.
