I work on a it help desk and a user has phoned thru a problem about lan settings, when she goes into Tools > internet options > Connections > LAN Settings the whole of the proxy server area is greyed out (including the check box-im not that thick) i have searched in regedit and have found the key [HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVers ion\Internet Settings] "ProxyEnable"=dword:00000000 but this does not make a difference when set to 1. does anyone have any ideas? thanx for any help i have tried the microsoft forums with no luck please help!!!
Try clicking on use automatic configuration script and put the proxy server address in it that instead. If that doesn't work in connections try setup and she should be able to put the proxy setting in there. Your a lot better than the helpdesk @ my place they wouldn't even know what the registry is.
yeah, i'fv heard rumors that client for MS networks can make a difference.. also what version of IE are we talking about? the other day, i had a issue where ME wouldnt save settings, we couldnt uncheck use automatic config script.. well we could, but soon as he rebooted we lost the setting.. <argh> but thats ME for ya.. -scoob8000
thanx for all ur help i was on work experience and i have finished now so i dont have to worry about this but i will forward this thread to the bloke now responsible for it cheers peeps
