Hey all, Just as a follow up - here is the command to disable the automatic proxy setting configuration that continually turns the proxy on after it has been disabled. You'll know if this is the case if you shut down all IE windows after disabling it and when you open IE again your proxy server is once again set to http://proxy:8080 I can't guarantee that this will work - so try it at your own risk (personally I'd recommend backing up your registry first - and checking to make sure ahiehelp.dll and regsvr32.exe exist before attempting any of this). Here are the steps to unregister this dll:
Go into Start > Run and type: command at the command prompt type this: regsvr32 -u ahiehelp.dll -or if you get an error message type this- regsvr32 /u ahiehelp.dll That should work for IE - with netscape if you try this and have no success (i.e. the proxy setting keeps returing) you'll have to uninstall Netscape communicator (delete all folders etc), then reinstall Netscape from a non @home version (i.e. obtained from netscape's site) S.
