HI Guys,
For the past week and a half I am having proxy issues at the university (I am on a laptop). I keep on locking my account somehow, even if I do specify the correct password. When I am at home, I dont have to specify proxy and obviously when I am at the university I have to specify proxy. I am using chrome, but that in turn is using IE's connection settings, which I disable or enable depending on where I am located. So I've been told that IE is saving the password somewhere. Do you guys know where the password is stored? So I can disable or clear it?
My login details to the laptop is also different to the proxy credentials. Could it be that its trying to send my laptop login details through for authentication? I dont think it should, but hey, I am grasping at straws here.
My details were working perfectly fine until last week monday, until the guys change the proxy policies. But they say their policies are fine though and shouldnt affect my logging in to proxy.
any ideas how to fix it from my side? Any utilities maybe that I can use for managing my proxy details? I roam a lot, so proxies could change quite a bit. Maybe something that would prevent all the services I am running, like skype, dropbox etc etc from connecting until I have provided a proxy password. Since I don't know if its their attempts at connecting to the internet that could be the issue. But I am disabling them as I have time to test and so far no luck.
any assistance would be appreciated.
