SBS 2000 Server and IE

I recently set up a SBS 2000 for my company, but opted against installing ISA since I have a hardware firewall.

When I set up the clients, the IE browser was automatically set up to use a proxy server connection, where of course there was none, so Internet access was not possible.

I unchecked the box which fixed the problem, but it comes back each time a new person logs into a particular machine, and then again periodically for some unknown reason.

The setting seems to be part of the user profile, but I can't find anywhere to specify that I do not want the client browser set up to use a proxy server.

Has anyone had this problem before, and do you know how to fix it? Thanks.

Joe

The IE 5.0 client install is in the ClientApps folder on the SBS 2000 server.

I always replace it with IE 5.5 SP2.

I did that by using the IEAK kit and customizing the IE installation the way I want it!

The default IE install for the SBS 2000 server may have default settings in it for the proxy server since you did not install the ISA server.

Also make sure that you are not installing the Firewall client on the user stations.
