When I reboot the PC the proxy setting in internet options, LAN settings is not getting saved. How can I have this setting permanently saved.
Any clues.

There could be a policy that prevents the user from changing the proxy. To enable changing the proxy you will have to edit the registry. Go to HKEY_CurrentUser\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel\Proxy. If there is a DWORD there, change the value of it to "0" (zero) and close. If there's no DWORD, add one and make the value zero. This will enable you to change the proxy and have it keep the change after rebooting. Remember to back up the registry before editing!

Lizzy,

I looked at couple of PCs with same configurations and none of them have entry that you mentioned. Is there any other thing that I should look into. Other PCs do have proxy setting and it does not get lost on rebooting.
Thanks
Chandra
