Proxy issue.

Hi there!!!

I have a strange issue, at hand

Scenario:
Our clients have three LANs guarded by three different proxy. We configure their IE to match appropriate proxy and the applications run fine. Now they have this "bad" habit of pulling out workstations from one LAN and hook it up to another LAN. When this happens, for sure the proxy settings mismatch and the node cannot access internet any more.

Question:
Now do we have something using which we do not have to manually change the IE settings when the LAN changes, something like alternate proxy settings or automatic detection of proxy.

I am stuck, please help.

TIA/SwapSawe.
 
Did i happen to create confusion? Am I not clear?? Tell me [sadeyes]

Use Group Policy of script the changes.
This freeware utility will make the scripting changes for the proxy settings automatic:
The obvious question is why the site does not standardize on one proxy software.
