Intranet and tick the option “ Use a proxy server for your LAN,,,”

[zillah]

At work I have got two PCs connected to our intranet network, both of them I have to tick the option “Use a proxy server for your LAN,,,,” to be able access the internet, without ticking this option, I would not able to access the internet.

I have seen other computers do not have this option being ticked and still they can access the net!!!!!!!

The computers which don't require the proxy option to be selected probably have a rule against them in the firewall to allow access to the internet without going via proxy on the particular ip, i have this setup on many sites via group policy and also on the proxy server itself.

I see. Thanks for this clarification.
