[Proxy]

The [Proxy] section contains entries for specifying proxy server settings for the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 browser. If these settings are not present, Setup uses the default proxy server settings for Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.

To make sure your settings in the [Proxy] section take effect, you need to include the [Branding] section and the BrandIEUsingUnattended entry in the answer file to enable the following browser-related settings:

[Branding]
BrandIEUsingUnattended = Yes

In the [Unattended] section, if you use the entries AutoActivate = Yes and ActivateProxy = Proxy, Windows Product Activation (WPA) attempts to activate this installation of Windows XP by using the proxy settings specified in this section.

If you use the ActivateProxy entry in the [Unattended] section to specify a custom section for proxy settings (in other words, you do not use the default [Proxy] section), WPA uses the proxy settings specified in the custom section of the answer file. The entries in the custom section must match the syntax specified for the [Proxy] section.
