| 77371 | 2002-09-07 11:16:00 | Almost invariably, when I start Internet Explorer (6.0), I have to go to Tools>Internet Options>Connections>LAN Settings and uncheck the tick in the box for my browser (and Outlook) to work properly (in receiving web-pages and/or e-mail). Is there anyway to stop this from resetting?? | ten-zero (1804) | ||
| 77372 | 2002-09-08 03:00:00 | Assuming you are running Win 9x or ME: On a fresh boot, go Start > Settings > Control Panel > Internet Settings. Change the proxy settings to what you want. Click OK back out. Reboot. Cross your fingers. :) |

| 77373 | 2002-09-08 03:01:00 | Ooops, forgot to say ..... that first fresh boot has to boot into the "default" user. When the Username/Password screen comes up, press Escape on your keyboard rather than typeing your username and password. | antmannz (28) | ||
| 77374 | 2002-09-08 04:12:00 | Running Win XP (Home Edition). Proxy is Adsubstract Pro. But the tick in the LAN settings keeps coming back even if I change the internet settings... | ten-zero (1804) | ||
| 77375 | 2002-09-08 05:03:00 | From the AdSubtract Support Site (adsubtract.custhelp.com GV4dD0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT0zJnBfcHJvZF9sdmwxPTEzJnB fcHJvZF9sdmwyPTEmcF9jYXRfbHZsMT03JnBfc29ydF9ieT1zd WJfcHJvZC5uYW1lJnBfcGFnZT0x&p_li=): Internet Explorer 5.x - 6 Select the Tools menu, Internet Options menu item and the Connections tab. The next step depends on your network connection: If you are using a LAN (direct network connection), press the LAN Settings button. If you are using a modem (dial-up network connection), select the name of the dial-up connection you are using, and press the Settings button. In the dialog box that appears, check the box next to the text Use a proxy server. Press the Advanced button. On the HTTP line, enter the proxy server address 127.0.0.1 and the port number 4444. Setting the AdSubtract next-hop proxy server. If your web browser was already using an HTTP proxy server before you installed AdSubtract, you need to configure AdSubtract to use your original proxy server as its "next-hop" proxy server. To do so, double-click on the yellow icon and select Proxy. Click the box next to "Use HTTP proxy server" and specify your original proxy server host and port in the fields provide. |

| 77376 | 2002-09-08 07:02:00 | Thanks 'antsmann', I have already done this but I am still having trouble with the tick reappearing in the LAN settings box for a proxy. I am not connected to a LAN. Even though I untick the box, every time I connect to the internet the tick reappears! | ten-zero (1804) | ||
| 77377 | 2002-09-08 08:09:00 | Yes, but it would seem that AdSubtract acts as a proxy on your machine: the 127.0.0.1 points to your own machine. I think what happens is that when you click on a link IE passes the link off to the listed proxy (AdSubtract), which then goes to the net, gets the page, processes it, then passes it back to IE. So the tick should be there. |
