SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NETWORK ACCESS WITHOUT RECONFIGURATION

摘要

A system and method for providing client (36) access to a network (56) without changing client network settings (38) includes determining whether the client (36) is configured to use a proxy service and selectively acting as the proxy service when the client (36) is so configured. In one embodiment, determining whether the client is configured to use a proxy service includes establishing a connection between the client (36) and a configuration manager (50) and monitoring the connection for messages containing a proxy request.
