Proxy setting ignored in IE6 on Server 2003

[markn]

I have a number of clustered server 2003 terminal servers
on which the proxy server setting is ignored for some
users and not others. I have checked that it is not a
security setting by ensuring a new user has the same
rights as the people that are working or even domain
admin rights. I have checked that the machine can make
physical connection to the proxy server by running a
telnet session on port 8080 and all is ok. If the same
user runs a TS session to another machine (and all my
users have roaming terminal services profiles) the proxy
server settings are used. I have even enforced the use of
the proxy server setting using a local group policy on
the affected machines, but with no effect.

Anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks

Try tracing a connection to find out what is happening?

Run... msinfo32 /category IEConnectivity
and execute proxycfg (in a command window) to check the settings.

BTW I have found that proxy settings made using IE's Tools menu
are unreliable. I always use control inetcpl.cpl (or equivalent).
