@Home service and @Home software ?

Post by ispark »

Hello,

Is there any way to keep the @Home software loaded, yet "disable" the forced proxy settings?

Thanks,

Yes do this:
To get rid of @home proxy server do this
Start, Run, and type: regsvr32 -u ahiehelp.dll
This will disable proxy server.
In control panel, internet options, connecions, LAN settings,
take check mark out of ALL boxes (yes auto detect too)

Start | Run | regsvr32 -u ahiehelp.dll <enter>

I recommend removing the software though. It serves no purpose.

Thanks guys,

The reason I wanted to install the @Home software, and btw, I haven't installed the software yet, was for the dialer that comes with it. I'm on a 1 way @Home cable system, HTC@Home is the cable provider, the modem is model SB3100D.

As it is now, just clicking on a url or starting OE will not cause the cable modem to dial out, if it has lost the upload connection because of telco timeout.
I have to manually release and renew the ip to get into the modem web page, then start the dial-up process.
It's big headache, plus, with the wife and children surfing the net, I would rather them "not" have to go into winipcfg or the modem web browser just to initate a connection.

Thanks again guys, I will load the software and do the procedure you talked about.
