My proxy checkbox keeps getting checked. This happens with the LAN and dialup settings. I have to go to options/connections/LAN settings and uncheck it. In dialup I have to go to options/connections/, right click on modem connection and click on settings and uncheck proxy. This become a pain after awhile. IT resets after a new boot.

Such a problem can occur if u r running IE , and in your LAN Settings>Internet Options there is a checkmark near the box "Automatically detect settings". If this is true-every time u restart IE goes to look for a proxy server on your network and checks these settings back if it finds one. So uncheck this setting, and, if u have a proxy client that u do not want to use-uninstall it.
Also, if u r an @Home user-it is a whole new deal-it's still IE that is resetting the proxy settings, but the cause for this is their (@Home's) software, and to turn the proxy settings off and prevent them from reappearing-go to Start>Run and type "regsvr32 /u ahiehelp.dll (sans quotes).

Good luck.

Not enough information!

If you are running IE 5.0 then you need to upgrade to IE 5.5 They are identical browsers, but IE 5.5 fixes alot of major issues. If you are running otherwise, please let me know.

Hope this helps!
