RE: [squid-users] IE5/Win2k/WPAD not working

I'm not using DHCP, so rather than fallback they should become the
primary mechanisms, right?

Anyway, I'll be sure to add the parameter to DHCP just in case (even
though it's not being used!).

That's exactly my point: DHCP is not being used and not providing the
info, so it should go to failback mechanisms. But it's not even trying
to use the failback mechanisms: packet sniffs confirm that no attempt is
made to resolve wpad.mydomain.com, http logs confirm that no attempt is
made to retrieve http://wpad/wpad.dat, which is what is documented!

Anyway, thanks for your help, and does anyone have any other
suggestions? The reason this needs to work is because some road
warriors use laptops which need proxy while on-site, but don't use it
(proxy) while off-site (thus, the auto-detect setting is crucial to keep
them from having to change configurations).

Best
