RE: [squid-users] WPAD and Squid

Have you checked for a pattern yet?
According to someone in a previous post, they were having problems getting
IE6 to see the wpad.dat file, where IE5.x worked.
I'm having a similar problem, but we don't have any IE5 browsers left to
test it with!
the script file works when i point IE and mozilla to it manually, but both
DNS and DHCP autodetection doesn't work (on IE6 - mozilla doesn't support
DNS/DHCP autodetection).

Do any of you guys know of a solution?
As usual MS's website isn't any help.
