subject: Re: Toggle proxy setting in IE?

From: "David P. Cravshaw" 

It should work with a .vbs.  You may need to be running IE 5.5+ for it to
work, but that's may only be related to the WMI script I posted a little
bit earlier.  Note, you will need to restart IE for the setting below to
take effect.

What error does .vbs give?
