Work connection and proxies

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

It seems that this was done by definition, and is not considered a bug.
Their idea is that if you want to connect to the Internet you use the option
"My ISP".

If you are not using VPNs of any kind, you can change the upper "My ISP"
definition to "My Work Network" as well, and then the "this network connects
to internet" box will be constantly checked. Just note that you will need to
define your dialups in "My Work Network", and that if at some point you
require a VPN, you will need to change it back.
