Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The web site is one of my own. The problem is proxy server or AD policy
related, I'm sure. The service is running on my machine on the internal
network and attempting to access the web site on the dotcom web.

I have had to authenticate with the proxy server to get access to the web.
However, this has been working fine for a year. Any ideas on IE or Win2K
patches that may modify local settings to make this happen would be
appreciated.

There are AD policies in play. However, I am not an admin and am not
notified when policy changes are applied. If the problem is a policy change
then I need to know which policy in question before I go to the "black hole
people" to attempt to get a fix. (The network folks do not think it is their
job to trouble-shoot other peoples's problems.)

Thanks for any suggestions....
