Fellow Computer Users, I have an aggravating, but not debilitating problem with the MSIE I have installed on my machine. Abruptly, I began finding that I could not access any site using my browser. When I investigated I found that for all three of my DUN connections in the TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS > CONNECTIONS If found in the "SETTINGS" that all three were set to use a proxy server. When I unchecked this my browser performed adequately. HOWEVER, as long as I do not close out my machine, even if I close my browser, the correct settings persist, but then every time I reboot my system the ##** browser is reset to "proxy server". I have spoken with the technical "experts" at Gateway, I have spoken with the "experts" at my ISP and they are baffled. Their best recommendation, which I find unacceptable and a pain in the a**. is to reinstall my OS. I have tried reinstalling my internet connections, reinstalling my browser, but the problem is not so irritating as to prompt me to reinstall my OS. I have gone into the registry looking for "proxy server" settings, but so far nothing. I am using ME on a Gateway 1000, with 256 megs of ram, and a 1.0 meg CPU. Have any of you a suggestion ?
