Bypass Automatic Configuration

[Bensta]

We have a problem with our main Intranet Main Web Page. It loads very slow. The reason is that we are not running proxy server. Thus with IE 6.0 by default it tries to search for the proxy settings. Under tools/Internet Options/Connections/LAN Setting/Automatic configuration/Automatically detect settings option is checked but disabled. How can enable it so that I can unchecked it. That way it will not check for proxy settings and the main page will load faster? Is there anyway I can solve this issues?
I will truly appreciate any help.
Thank you in advance

It is likely a Domain Policy object interfering with your ability to change the setting.

Click [Start] [Run] [gpedit.msc]
Goto [Computer Configuration] [Administrative Templates] [Windows Components] [Internet Explorer]

"Make proxy settings per-machine (rather than per user)"

Description
Applies proxy settings to all users of the same computer.

If you enable this policy, users cannot set user-specific proxy settings. They must use the zones created for all users of the computer.

If you disable this policy or do not configure it, users of the same computer can establish their own proxy settings.

This policy is intended to ensure that proxy settings apply uniformly to the same computer and do not vary from user to user.

Thank you so much for your help bcastner. I appreciate it a lot. I will check the settings configuration and hopefully this will solve the problem.
