Speak to your ISP or network administrator, this has nothing to do with
CVS or CVSWEB.  The author of this script is simply using CVS to maintain
version information.
The thing that is causing you problems is an autoconfig script.  To work
around the problem, disable "obtain proxy setting automatically" in the
IE configuration.
But you should definately speak to either your ISP or network admin to
get the problem fixed.
