Thanks actionparsnip, but the problem is that I wish to disable the use of proxy settings from the command prompt.

Thanks actionparsnip, but the problem is that I wish to disable the use of proxy settings from the command prompt.
Proxy is configured, but the internet connection I am using does not use Proxy settings, so I wish to connect without proxy settings.

Thanks
Alexander
