http://serverfault.com – Something is disabling access to the proxy settings in IE on my (work) laptop. IE is set to use the corporate proxy, so applications that use IE's proxy settings don't work when I take the laptop home. I've removed the local group policy setting "Disable changing proxy settings" using gpedit.msc (I'm in the local Administrators group). However the check-box and edit controls on the LAN Settings page are still disabled. (The "Use a proxy server" check-box is checked, the proxy address and port are filled in, and the other check-box and edit controls are clear.) What else do I need to do before (HowTos)

We have implemented a machine based group policy for our domain. We use this because we have different locations that have different proxy settings (same domain). The policy went into effect and was successful on 90% of our client pc's. The other 10% we are having to do a gpupdate /force and it usually has to be a local administrator of the machine to do it.

Hi,

just upgraded fron 10.04 LTS to 12.04.1 LTS and I have a problem with the (minimalistic) approach for setting the system wide proxy settings.
