Hello,
we have some portables who are used at work and at home. When he is used in our network the the proxy settings are OK. (configured by our GPO). When they are at home they have the same proxy settings but no proxy server so they can't surf on the internet. Is there a way to change the proxy settings when not connected to the network.
