Does setting an option for proxy in Internet options
affect all TCP/IP traffic for a box, or just the browser?
An example would be setting a proxy in internet options on
a box that is running Lotus Domino or Exchange. Does the
proxy setting affect all apps using the IP stack or just
browsing?
 
The proxy setting should only affect browser operation and not all other
TCP/IP traffic. With that said, there are some applications that will use
whatever proxy setting you have specified in the browser for their own use.
