Hi all,<br />
<br />
Bit of background first<br />
<br />
The corporate network uses a proxy server for internet access. Proxy settings are set by a group policy which also sets the option preventing users from being able to change the settings (browser is IE, OS is XP).<br />
<br />
Now I need a way that when users with laptops take them away from our network they need to disable the proxy settings but cant because of the settings in the GPO. What is the best way to enable the users of the laptops to be able to change these settings when they are no longer on our network and need to connect to the net from else where.<br />
<br />
Is it possble for the computer to know that it is no longer on the corporate network and remove the proxy settings?

Allow changing proxy settings in IE7 when away from network

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
