Windows Update v5 (WinXP/2003 etc) will choke on authenticated proxies and can barf on nono-authenticated proxies too. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;896226 In short - route the windows update stuff directly. This is a problem wth windows, not squid. There's some info I posted about 6 months ago to this list that may be useful (ie, it worked for me). Cheers, James
