We have a 150+ PC network, with NT servers and combination of Win95/Win98/NT clients. At random, we have problems with Internet Explorer losing the proxy settings and people can't access the Internet. If we let Internet Explorer automatically discover the proxy settings, it will let people into certain sites, but not all of them. We need to have proxy settings in all boxes, the put the exceptions in the box below. I've noticed on my PC (NT workstation) that it seems to lose the settings more often if I close IE by clicking on the 'X' in the upper right corner, rather than if I click File --> Close. Once I put the proxy settings back in, everything works fine. Any ideas?
Like I said, it happens at random over the entire network. I can't say I know of a PC that hasn't had that problem, but its not all the time and I can't immediately replicate it. But it will eventually happen again. Thanks in advance!
