SV: [squid-users] Problematic Clients

Dear sirs,

Automatic proxyconfiguration only seems to work when you have dhcp enabled,
i used ethereal to verify this, no traffic at all between client and
wpad.domain.local when a static ip is used. ( I don't use the dhcp option
only wpad by dns)

Is there a possibility that someone could verify this ?

Dear sirs,

I have the same problem , i have two (of 300 hosts)winXP-pro clients that
have the same behaviour. And im not really sure where to look first.
The logs on the webserver (wpad.local.domain/wpad.dat) is accessed by this
two clients but they don't seem to get the proxy information.
