Make sure you enabled the setting in the same GPO where you disabled it or create a
new GPO to do such and place it above the existing GPO in the list. GPO's can take up
to a couple of hours to propagate to a computer. After configuring on a domain
controller, run " secedit /refreshpolicy user_policy /enforce" . You can do the same
on Windows 2000 workstations after that and user gpupdate /force an XP Pro computers
or have the users logoff and logon - possibly twice to speed up user policy
propagation. Gpresult can display where a logged on user is getting GPO's applied
from and the last time they were applied. The /v switch will show detailed info
including the registry settings applied to a user by a Group Policy.

You can also configure proxy settings for users in Group Policy under user
configuration/Windows settings/Internet Explorer maintenance/connections -
ttings. -- Steve
