Hi Diego, The problem sounds like the issue that I have. Check this link (look for the info about automatic proxy result caching):
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;271361 Sounds to me it's a problem where IE is caching the result. If you already had it enabled prior to implementing the proxy, I haven't found any easy way around it. If you hadn't had it enabled, everything should work fine. I used my personal laptop for a while between work and home, on two separate networks using DHCP to set my IP addresses and such. What I found was that once I was able to successfully connect to the Internet from home with those settings, and then bring it back to work, it detected the proxy just fine. But, prior to that when I was just testing it strictly on the work network (and also with other computers), it simply wouldn't cooperate. Leave it to Microsoft to try to make things more efficient, but give others migraines in the process. Hope that helps, what little it may.

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).
