Eye yi yi ... even proxycfg /? doesn't work ? I'm not familiar with the
different flavors of Vista, Bill. Am working on a Home Premium system
today and will report back with my findings.
In the meantime, can you access TCP/IPv4 and see if it's set to
Automatically obtain an IP and DNS server address ?
It's in Network Center > Manage Connections > Active connection
[I think, as I do not have Vista installed and am going by a rapidly,
aging memory <w> ]
In XP one could double click the Network icon in the Notification tray,
and the click the Properties button in the Local Area Connection Status
window to reach TCP/IP's properties.
