SYMPTOMS
After you install Internet Explorer 5, you may notice that the automatic configuration and proxy setting information for each connection is separate from the same information used for the LAN connection.
CAUSE
In Internet Explorer 5, each connection uses its own automatic configuration and proxy settings.
RESOLUTION
Microsoft recognizes that this new functionality is different from previous versions of Internet Explorer. Because you may require connections' automatic configuration or proxy settings to be the same as the LAN settings, Microsoft has provided a supported design-change "fix." You can use this "fix" to set all connections' automatic configuration and proxy settings (that are blank or not set for each connection) to the LAN settings. This "fix" has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to computers experiencing this specific problem. If you are not severely affected by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Internet Explorer service pack that contains this "fix." NOTE: This fix is specific to Internet Explorer 5, and should not be applied to an Internet Explorer 5.01 installation. Instead, perform the steps in the MORE INFORMATION section.
The English-language version of this "fix" should have the following file attributes or later:
|
07/27/99 | 2:29 p.m. | 5.00.2719.2700 | 459,024 bytes | Wininet.dll | x86 |
The French-language version of this "fix" should have the following file attributes or later:
