I want to build a browser in VB with webbrowser control to run a local intranet application, but this application should not use the internet explorer's proxy settings, but on the other hand, if I run explorer, it should run as it is with its settings.
Thanks

This isn't possible really. The only workaround I can think of would be to modify the registry settings for IE, but this would have a machine-wide effect, and is not recommended.
You could fetch the content yourself, and then pipe it into the WebBrowser control, but that would be slower as well.
Hope this helps.

Actually I dont see why is it not possible. Because firefox is also an application made by other people, which can set and modify proxy setting without affecting Internet explorer (if i am not wrong).
Hi,
I think you can try this: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=376620&SiteID=1
It's a solution using the wininet.dll InternetSetOption entry point.
Hope this helps.
