No - this option should always be unchecked on NTL. Users should only check this option if they are on a corporate network that provides WPAD (web proxy auto discovery) support, which NTL does not. The effect of checking this option is potentially to slow down first launch of each Internet Explorer window, as it tries and fails to find a WPAD server.
Ok, correction noted, although I've always had it that way and never had a problem. The rest is right though about configuring your email. I normally do mine without the disk, to save getting all the other rubbish it puts on your PC (remember the Gearbox software a few yrs ago...yuk! )
