We are running W2K laptops with network (domain) connections. When users (Multiple users on the same laptop) log on when not on domain they use a wireless aircard. If they try to access the Internet they time out. We have a proxy server which is stopping them. They can manually changes the connections in IE properties. But I'm looking for a .BAT file that can do this for them. Maybe some type of Registry Hack. Users are regular restricted users no special access can be given to them. Any ideas?

how about this?

copy and paste below into notepad-
replace the x's with the ip & port used of your proxy server-
if you do not want https or ftp used, omit them in the ProxyServer string.
save as filename.reg



REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"ProxyServer"="http=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx;https=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx;ftp=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx"
&quot;ProxyOverride&quot;=&quot;<local>&quot;
 
Thanks WheeDoggy, That works great. i took it one step further. When the laptops are docked I set up a Docked.bat file with &quot;ProxyEnable&quot;=dword:00000001 And set it on the desktop.
Then created the same for aircard and gave it a value of 00000000.This setting clears out my proxy server. This works great!! THANKS for the direction!!!!

HOLY COW! I took your solution and emailed the .reg file to a new user and bingo, they are on the net without me having to get off my lazy behind. Great job!
