Re: Autodetect is not working for some users

hi again,

throught the search in this discussion group, I have read about fwctool.exe.

I've downloaded that tool and tried it on the clients that don't detect the
proxy, the wierd thing here is that those clients are connecting to the ISA
server throug port 80, as it appears from that tool.

another thing I saw in the newsgroup is the authentication, i have changed
the firewall policy to have Authenitcated users only instead of all users.

I shall say that some have detected it but there are still some clients who
did not.

please help
any idea??

ray,

thanks for your reply,

users are able download the wpad.dat file when access that URL; however,
some users are not taking the option from the DNS.
I am using DHCP to assign IP's.

On those computers, if you go to this precise URL, do you get prompted to
download wpad.dat? http://wpad/wpad.dat

If not and they are on DHCP, you are not passing the default DNS domain via
DHCP.

If not and they are on static IP's, you need to change the computer name so
it is fully qualified with the DNS domain. Click the More... button on the
dialog box with the computer name ("primary DNS suffix").

hi,

I have an ISA server 2004 configured with one NIC, Webproxy discover is
enabled on port 80. and a wpad cname record is created on my DNS server.
users have the "automatically detect settings" checkbox on, most of the
users are able of detecting the settings but others don't though they have
the same settings.

what could be the problem.
