Frank,

Did you do all the things that I suggested? I promise you that if you use
loopback correctly ( which I am going to assume that you did not ) then the
users would not have access to the Internet ( read: have the fake proxy IP
Address ) when logging onto the computers that are under the Scope of
Management of the loopback ( hint: need to use replace mode.....not merge!
This might be your error ).
