Why oh why?

Do I have this configuration script in Internet Explorer - http://localhost:9100/proxy.pac

I know I dont need it, I have my connection set up for DHCP but if I remove or disable this script, it reappears.

Now, I've noticed ever now and again that when I open my IE to Google (which is always quick) in the bottom corner where the loading URL's are show, its says detecting proxy settings. I don't use a damn proxy and this is slowing my launch times.

I've no IC software, simple an ethernet cable straight into my laptop. What the hell is going on? http://jordan.fortwayne.com/jgbreak/fred/YaBBImages/smilies/confused.gif

On my IE setting, I have no check marks on that page at all since I also uses DHCP! Maybe mighty Hunter found your solution.

It appears to be a google web acellerator problem.

Auggie seems to be trying the old, "If it aint broke, you aint trying hard enough". LOL

So it's Google Web Accelerator using that? Interesting. But for what?

Yeah, well it was there for a while but I forgot, just bugged the hell out of me.

So ironically it's the accelerator program thats slowing my internet. Thanks Google :)

Auggie is officially confused. I found the address in the registry, so I backed up and deleted the few I found and restart.

It's still there. Maybe I need to email Google and see what they say?

I think that would be a good start.

I don't use the program, but did you also stop the process in task manager & uninstall it?

This is interesting, I clicked the link by accident and thought, whats in the pac file? So I opened it and...


function FindProxyForURL_46847(url, host) {
return "DIRECT";
}

var private_re = new RegExp("^((0\\.0\\.0\\.0)|(127\\.\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+)|(10\\ .\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+)|(172\\.(1[6789]|2[0-9]|3[01])\\.\\d+\\.\\d+)|(169\\.254\\.\\d+\\.\\d+)|(192\\. 168\\.\\d+\\.\\d+)|(22[3-9]\\.\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+)|(2[3-5][0-9]\\.\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+)|([^.]*\\.[^.]*\\.google\\.com)|([^.]*))$");
var bypass_re = new RegExp("^((gmail\\.google\\.com)|(.*update\\.microsoft\\.c om))$");

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
if (host == "localhost" || host == "127.0.0.1")
return "DIRECT";
var url_proxy = FindProxyForURL_46847(url, host);
if (private_re.test(host) ||
bypass_re.test(host) ||
url.substring(0,5) != "http:" ||
"DIRECT" != url_proxy
)
return url_proxy;
else
return "PROXY localhost:9100; " + url_proxy;
}



Google plastered all over it. I dont want to uninstall the program, since I'm always in the programs section, I prefer not to reload all the images over and over again. Google really speeds that up. I'm just curious ya know?
