Go to this page: http://nscsysop.hypermart.net/proxypac.html The fellow creates an if/endif file (some are quite complex) which he names proxy.pac. You would use a text editor to create the file (with the appropriate IP addresses for your own work Lan), place it in a subdirectory of your choice. For IE right click on the e of your desktop, choose Properties - Connections (tab) - Lan Settings button - and check the automatic lan configuration and where the file is found. The article is pretty straight forward.
