Using different settings for Proxy (i.e. ON/OFF) depending on connection used (L

Hi!

 

I use WLAN @ home and it requires no proxy and @ work I use LAN w/ proxy. Is there a way to configure IE to automatically switch between proxy on/off depending on witch connection I use? (laptop computer)

Go to this page: http://nscsysop.hypermart.net/proxypac.html The fellow creates an if/endif file (some are quite complex) which he names proxy.pac. You would use a text editor to create the file (with the appropriate IP addresses for your own work Lan), place it in a subdirectory of your choice. For IE right click on the e of your desktop, choose Properties - Connections (tab) - Lan Settings button - and check the automatic lan configuration and where the file is found. The article is pretty straight forward.
