Some users report that this method does not seem to work for them.
An alternative approach (which is known to work OK), is to use gpedit.msc to remove the IE menu option for changing connection settings. Do this using the following brief steps.
Run gpedit.msc
Select Local Computer Policy
Select User Configuration
Select Administrative Templates
Select Windows Components
Select Internet Explorer
Select Disable changing connection settings
Select Enabled then click OK
This will disable the Internet Explorer menu Tools/Internet Options/Connections, so ensure you have made the correct desired settings first.
Note that if TransparentPort = 8080 and portblocking = yes and you are not using Group Filtering, workstations can be set to "Auto detect proxy port" and will be forced to use Dansguardian.

Note that if Transparent = no and you are using Group Filtering with user login authentication, then your browsers proxy port will need to be set to port 8080 (for all users). If you are using Windows & Internet Explorer, then using gpedit.msc can simplify configuration for all users of workstations.
