Enabling "Automatically Detect Intranet Network" on a domain member computer will enable all the three Intranet Options automatically.
By default in Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8, "Automatically Detect Intranet Network" will be enabled to automatically control the following three options of Intranet detection:Â
Include all local (intranet) sites not listed in other zones
Include all sites that bypass the proxy server
Include all network paths (UNCs)
If "Automatically Detect Intranet Network" is enabled on a computer that is a member of a domain, all three of these options will be enabled regardless of what is configured through domain policy.
This behavior is by design.Â
To disable the "Automatically Detect Intranet Network" settings on a computer that is a member of a domain, take the following steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type gpedit.msc in the Open box, and then click OK.
- Expand Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand Windows Components, expand Internet Explorer, and then expand Internet Control Panel.
- Click Security Page, right-click Intranet Sites: Include all local (intranet) sites not listed in other zones, and then click Properties.
- Click Enabled, and then click OK.
- Right-click Turn on automatic detection of the intranet, and then click Properties.
- Click Disabled, and then click OK.
- Exit the Group Policy Object Editor

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
