Easy switch of the LAN proxy server settings?

In order to access the internet at work, I need to go through a proxy server. But whenever I get home I have to turn off the proxy server. So, whenever I go home at night I have to click on 'Internet Options' (shortcut on the desktop), then "connection", then "network settings" and finally uncheck the box "use a proxy server for your LAN". And then every morning when I get back to work I have to do it again and re-check the box.

Is there a way to make a shortcut directly on the screen 'network settings '?
Better yet, could I get a click button to switch the proxy on and out, directly from my office? Does anyone know all the gadgets that offer this feature?

Hi Taikoman,

Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

Please use your favorite search engine and do a search for "switch proxy on and out".  You should be able to find an editing software to do the job.

NOTE:

Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • LAN Proxy Server settings are not retained

    I get an error of security proxy server credentials when connecting to Office365 from the local network connected PC Split HP runnng Windows 8.1.  We use a proxy server.

    When I check the control panel configuration, internet options, Connections tab, network, under the proxy server section settings button the box IS COCHEE to «use a proxy server for your LAN...» »

    I uncheck the box, click on OK and it backs up to the Connections tab.  In this tab, the box apply is grayed out (which may seem reasonable, given that the changes I made are on a screen of a level down on the LAN configuration screen.

    Anyway, after a while and always after the system has been locked on in «standby mode", settings return to check a box to «Use a proxy server for your LAN...» »

    The changes are simply not found.  My user account is administrator.

    Any solution to this setting removed by using a proxy server?

    I solved it without defining the system to its default settings.  Thinking that maybe it's a corruption of user admin role I added other roles to my user profile form which also have the ability / permission to make changes.  Fact:

    Control accounts of user/group/tab Manage User accounts / light tone my admin account / Advanced tab/advanced/users/select my account/member/added the roles of IIS_UISRS, network and Network Configuration operators.  (not easy thinking for an average of fall through user)

    all saved and accrued

    Once this is done, the Lan Proxy settings have been stable.

    However, a prior problem with the audio still exists.  The default value of the audio device continues to change speakers on the 2nd screen rather than the laptop speakers.  I can make changes and he returns back from a seemingly random way.  HP, a system Dingo!  Maybe a bios update will fix.

  • Presentation of ID host ESX host LUN to the VCB Proxy Server

    I have a typical scenario where I have 3 ESX servers with 3 x 800 GB LUNS in a storage group separate on a CX 310 SAN box. The host LUN., of these 3 LUN Ids are 0, 1 and 2.

    I have a specific host that starts from SAN, from the same box of CX 310 SAN. At this point of time, I have no choice to use this server as a Server Proxy VCB. As far as my knowledge goes, LUNS of the ESX servers must be made visible to VCB Proxy Server, as they are presented to the ESX servers.

    My question here is, as the designated Proxy VCB server is booting from the SAN, he already has a host LUN 0 to Id the logic unit number this is the start of. The Id to host ONE of the first 800 GB LUN in the ESX Server storage group is also Host Id 0. Now, if I try to make the LUNS in storage group visible on the VCB Proxy Server ESX, is there not a shock of the VCB Proxy 0 host Id and Id host ESX Lun 0? I'm confused, I don't have a test envirinment where I could try this before I could actually go forward with any solution.

    My intention is to perform a backup outside LAN of the VMDK.

    Any help is that this respect is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    (1) Yes, you can have different host for VCB then for your ESX host LUN ID

    (2) Yes, you can use the identifiers of naa, it will automatically use the identifiers of naa, no need to configure anything at all.

  • Modify the web proxy server to vCenter server

    Hello

    I installed the vCenter server on a virtual machine that is present at the top an ESXi host in my vSphere environment. The operating system installed on the virtual computer is Windows Server 2008. Now, I want to change the web proxy service on the vCenter server to allow the http connection. I'm following the steps in this guide:

    http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.VMware.perlsdk.pg.doc_50%2Fviperl_proggd_preface.2.1.html

    However, the path specified in this guide: c:\Documents and Settings\AllUsers\Application Application Data VMware VirtualCenter

    is not present in Windows Server 2008.

    And the path that contains vCenter which is C:\Program Files\VMware\infrastructure\virtualcenter Server doesnot contain any proxy.xml file that needs to be changed.

    I need help with this as to how to activate the connection http on the vcenter server.

    Thanks in advance.

    Try to paste this path into the address bar in Explorer or in the command line. This is a hidden directory.

  • How to determine the outgoing (SMTP) server settings?

    ErrorMessage:

  • impact of the backup proxy server appassure

    Hello

    I'm curious to know what kind of impact running a backup during peak hours on your servers. I was just making my feet wet with appassure, so we did turn the backup in a very traditional manner with a single backup from one day to the next.

    We started trying to leave the appassure make multiple backups throughout the day and we had mixed results. Some servers seem to completely affected by running Backup and other bog down severely without any obvious reason for me (on the same workload, card etc.)

    I'm nervous to run backups every few hours on busy servers, but those are the ones who benefit the most of frequent backups.

    I'm curious to know what is the impact for others especially on busy servers exchange or sql.

    Thank you

    Hello ajna

    Thanks for your question.  AppAssure have experience with a large number of customers who protect Exchange environments and SQL on an hourly basis and impact should not be noticeable while backups are running but there are a few caveats.  The agent itself must meet the minimum specifications required for AppAssure - http://documents.software.dell.com/appassure/5.4.3/release-notes/system-requirements/appassure-agent-software-requirements.   Memory and network requirements are of particular importance.

    A Microsoft requirement for the underlying copy Service VSS (Volume Shadow) smoothly is also generally all protected disks should have at least 10% to 15% of free space and that the VSS writers on the system are healthy (this is particularly relevant for Exchange and SQL).

    I hope it's to reassure however support would be happy to help you with specific questions, you can experience.

  • All traffic Vlan to the Interface of the Proxy Server

    Hello!

    I need little help to route all the traffic on VLAN to the proxy server.

    I have different VLANS on switches L2 200-26 and by 300-28-L3 for routing.

    I have already created VLANs and able to rout them, but facing problem for routing traffic to the interface proxy for internet access.

    I have different VLAN for example Vlan 10, 10.10.10.0/24 sales, Vlan20 10.10.20.0/24 Marketing. I have trunk between switches interfaces and default 1U is the same on all switches.

    My proxy server has two NICs, one is connected to a dsl modem and other one to the switch port that uses the IP 192.168.0.2 to default vlan1.

    I am able to surf the internet using vlan1 but not on ther VLAN.

    I put the route defaults to the switch of 192.168.0.2, but don't not routing for internet to another VLAN.

    Thank you

    Hello

    To answer your questions:

    1. I have to update the following files?

    https://software.Cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=283019617&release...

    Yes, please let me know what firmware and boot code, that you have right now and I'll tell you what is the best way for you to upgrade because you shouldn't go straight to the latest firmware unless you run already 1.3.5.58 or later version.

    2. it supports to 8 dhcp pools. I have swimming pools, but I have more than 8 VLAN. I put all the settings, works very well.

    You are right and I forgot to mention the limitation of only 8 DHCP pools, I'm sorry. That being said, make sure that your current DHCP server uses IP addresses assigned to each VLAN on the switch as the gateway by default for the VLAN respective.

    3 for the Proxy Server, I need to find a way to point back roads of VLAN to vlan mapping static address on the switch. I'm confused in this little piece.

    I understand that this can be confusing, let me see if I can explain it a little better.

    Assuming that everything on the switch is configured according to my recommendations can

    1. you need a single, a route by default on the switch, so that when a PC is connected to one of VLAN on she tries to go online, an unknown IP address to the switch, it will send it to the Ip address of the router, because the proxy server will be able to reach this IP public, unknown to any Web site.

    2 - when the traffic is back to this Web site, it will be intended for another subnet that the proxy server is on. Suppose the answer is looking for 10.10.10.100 (subnet unknown to the proxy server), without a static route on the proxy server it say where to send this traffic, packets are simply deleted.

    3. you need to create as many static routes on the proxy server as the amount of VIRTUAL LANs, you have on your network.

    For now I know that the proxy server is 192.168.0.2 on VLAN 1 but I don't know what the IP address of the switch is on the same VLAN, it should be something on the 192.168.0.x range.

    All journeys should look like this:

    10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0 send 192.168.0.x (IP address of the switch on the VLAN 1)

    10.10.20.1 255.255.255.0 send 192.168.0.x (IP address of the switch on the VLAN 1)

    Alternatively, if all your internal VIRTUAL local networks are on the beach of 10.10.x.x then you should be able to create a single rule to summarize all the VLAN as this:

    10.10.1.1 255.255.0.0 send 192.168.0.x (IP address of the switch on the VLAN 1)

    Please let me know if it was a little clearer.

    Feel free to ask any questions.

  • Software exists for the creation of a 'virtual' network card and going to all the traffic on the local network through a proxy server, then by this adapter?

    I can access net through LAN and my college requires a proxy for all access to the internet. If you want to use the internet, it is impossible to do not use a proxy. This is a problem for many programs that do not seem to allow you to enter the proxy settings.

    any software is to create a 'virtual' network adapter that will pass all traffic network (or any protocol x traffic) through the proxy?

    So I have do not need to enter the proxy anywhere... and I have normal internet access.
    What I saw is possible with OpenVPN, but it is a vpn service that I need .i just want to use the feature. In OpenVPN I just enter my proxy server in its framework and OpenVPN to connect to a VPN service and routes all traffic to the FAUCET adapter after which I don't need to set the proxy address anywhere... so my idea is how can I use only the last part that is routing all my LAN traffic to a virtual card.

    Support the LAN---> proxy---> virtual adapter--->, then software I access the net

    That's what I like to do...

    Although I am facing this problem on Windows 7, solutions for all operating systems are welcome.
