Hello everyone.

We are having a problem an I could use some help. We use a group policy
entry in sites and services to configure the proxy on workstations. When
they are in house, the settings work fine. We also have many laptop users,
and when they are out of the office is when the trouble begins. As soon as
the log onto the internet and open IE, their status windows shows them IE is
looking for our proxy server. How do I restrict this behavior to inside our
network? I thought that since we enabled this setting within the site
configuration, it would not affect them if they were out of the site
physically.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

-Steve

I guess the only solution is to let them logon locally on their computer when
they are out of office.
