Proxy settings in IE - online vs. offline
Hello: Does anyone know of a way to script (perhaps in a login script) the addition of IE proxy settings, and then disable these same settings using a logoff script? This is for my mobile users. On the LAN I need then to use my proxy server, but if the proxy settings are still in place when they...

Stuck with WEP - will increasing key lengths help harden WLAN?
I have potential security issues on my wireless LAN because my equipment is older and I can?t use WPA. I'm worried that my data is vulnerable. If I increase my WEP key length from 40 to 128 or greater, will this help?
