Remoting Performance and Auto Web Proxy .

The .Net Framework 2.0 has significant changes to its

support for proxies including support for connection-

specific proxy settings, automatic proxy configuration and

the ability to automatically refreshing proxy settings

whenever the active connection changes. These features can

be very useful in .Net Remoting but the auto web proxy

feature can also affect performance. If you do not need

these settings in your client it might be useful to disable

them.

There are a number of ways to disable this:

1. In Internet Explorer Open Internet Options,

(either through control panel or the Internet Explorer™

tools menu), switch to the connections tab, and select LAN

settings. Clear all checkboxes under automatic

configuration. This will disable automatic proxy settings

for the current user (note that this will not work for

ASP.NET sites making outgoing web service calls because

they run under a different user).

2. Imperatively disable it by setting

System.Net.WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = null;

3. In your config file bypass the proxy for your web-

server. You can also disable the default proxy altogether.
