What is the deal with the Work vs. Internet settings? I can't seem to
access our *work* network unless I use the *Internet* configuration! I
would like to be able to omit the 'click here, here, and here, and choose
Internet' step from the instructions to our users. All of the documentation
I have found on the subject is too simplistic to help.

TIA,
Joel

This page has a good explanation of what you can do or not do with each.

Thanks.

I am trying to exercise restraint in my irritation for how poorly designed
this interface is. I am impressed with how obtuse somebody managed to make
such a simple thing.

PS - I appreciate the effort that you and Chris have gone to to help others
make sense of it.

(and in retrospect, I hope that you were not the one that designed it!!)
