What gives? + + + This is a quirk that effects the installation of + Privoxy, in conjunction with Internet Explorer and + Internet Connection Sharing on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The symptoms may + appear to be corrupted or invalid DUN settings, or passwords. + + + + When setting up an NT based Windows system with + Privoxy you may find that things do not seem to be + doing what you expect. When you set your system up you will probably have set + up Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) with Dial up Networking (DUN) when + logged in with administrator privileges. You will probably have made this DUN + connection available to other accounts that you may have set-up on your + system. E.g. Mum or Dad sets up the system and makes accounts suitably + configured for the kids. + + + + When setting up Privoxy in this environment you + will have to alter the proxy set-up of Internet Explorer (IE) for the + specific DUN connection on which you wish to use + Privoxy. When you do this the ICS DUN set-up + becomes user specific. In this instance you will see no difference if you + change the DUN connection under the account used to set-up the connection. + However when you do this from another user you will notice that the DUN + connection changes to make available to "Me only". You will also find that + you have to store the password under each different user! + + + + The reason for this is that each user's set-up for IE is user specific. Each + set-up DUN connection and each LAN connection in IE store the settings for + each user individually. As such this enforces individual configurations + rather than common ones. Hence the first time you use a DUN connection after + re-booting your system it may not perform as you expect, and prompt you for + the password. Just set and save the password again and all should be OK. + + + +[Thanks to Ray Griffith for this submission.] + +
