54897	2002-06-18 01:03:00	Hi all, I'm running IE6 and in the menu path: IE Tools> Internet Options> Connections> Settings I've selected the 'Automatically detect settings' checkbox. However I notice this is soon reconfigured (by something) to activate the 'Use automatic configuration script' option, with the following address shown: 127.0.0.1:8080 in the address box. When I checked further, this address reveals the following info: function FindProxyForURL(url,host){if(url.substring(0,5)==' http:')return'PROXY 127.0.0.1:8080';return'DIRECT';} Can anyone interpret what is happening and need I be concerned? I haven't a clue what it means. Thanks and much appreciation.	Guest (0)

At least those are similar to the settings I have, and I have Proxymitron running. Not a problem provided you run Proxymitron prior to trying to connect to an URL. John	Guest (0)
