Hi, OK, let me try again - but to be honest I think everything needed is in that two line description.
(I'm on Gutsy but I don't think the issue is new) If I go to System->administration->Network the 'network settings' dialogue that comes up allows me to set my network connections and associate them with a 'location' so that my network settings for the office are different from home or from when I'm on the road. If I go to System->Peferences->Network proxy the 'Network proxy preferences' dialogue doesn't have the location drop down and thus I can't bind the proxy setting to the same 'location' idea that the 'network settings' has. Making the proxy settings location based is important because: 1) It's unlikely that I have the same proxy at multiple locations 2) From a security point of view if I forget to change the proxy settings when I go to an unsafe network, all my traffic could end up going through a nasty proxy (especially with 'automatic proxy configuration') That better?
