Hi all,

Internet explorer automatically "checks" the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" button, located in the Internet Options -> Connections -> Lan settings tab. After I manually uncheck the button, it re-enables itself after ~1 minute.

Here's an image of what I"m talking about: http://imgur.com/LGFRLYE

This problem occurs when my computer is connected to a SSHv2 tunnel. My other browsers (chrome, firefox) work fine- only internet explorer is problematic. However, when the option in IE is checked, and only when it's checked, some programs, such as Gyazo, can't establish connections to the internet.

This is hugely annoying, so any help/ideas are much appreciated.
