Proxy Information is saved on the PC, where?

[Crazy Goat]

Alright, I will tell you my issue.


Laptop + W:A = Runs SP perfectly fine

I configured a Proxy at school, didn't work, and now I cannot get rid of the entry.

On my Desktop PC, I can say "reset defaults" in the configuration menu, and exit. When I open it again, it truly resets. (IE - removes faulty proxy information)

On my Laptop, I can say "reset defaults," and it will remove the proxy information before my eyes, but when I exit that menu - and enter it again... it is back.

I cannot connect to WormNet, and this difference is the only one I can pin down at the moment which differentiates my Laptop setup, from my PC.

(My laptop actually has all of the port forwarding, triggering, and exceptions in my router, and my PC doesn't... so don't bother). Also - no firewall, software.



So really, I am asking: "Where the hell does it store the network configuration data?"


Because I have uninstalled/deleted the folder/deleted registry keys/installed/installed/to new folder - around 5 times... and my Nickname and Proxy information is intact each time.

...but now that I reckon - Snooper doesn't work either... (laptop) :(

I am running out of ideas.

I LOVE YOU.


But... I am reformatting right now. It was specific to the PC, because I used a second laptop on that same network (no permissions), and it had no issues getting into the server list.

As such, I'll just reinstall the OS... HP clogged the thing up so damned much, I'd rather streamline the damned thing.
