Hi Tom,
 
It does appear as though DHCP is working though. Here's an example of
the regular firewall logs that keep coming up:

5/13/2004 3:31:17 PM <client IP> 0.0.0.0 http://cerberus/wspad.dat
anonymous 8080  http     GET  No Proxy CERBERUS  cerberus TCP  - -  -  -
- - 0 1 0 56 0x0 0x0 0x0 Web Proxy Filter 0.0.0.0

 
Note that the origin of the request is from a user that isn't an
Administrator or Power User.
 
What concerns me at the moment is that there is indeed nothing published
at http://cerberus/wspad.dat surely there should be? In fact, the file
wspad.dat isn't to be found anywhere on the ISA server. Do you know at
which point is this file created and published?
 
Cheers,
 
Jason

        Hi Jason,
         
        That may solve your problem, but it sounds like you still have a
significant name resolution issue and correct qualification of
unqualified WPAD DNS queries. Remember that DHCP WPAD only works for
Adminstrators and I believe, Power Users.

                http://www.ISAserver.org
                
                Aha! I think I've found the problem.
                 
                The AutoDiscovery information was just not being
published.
                 
                From Help File:
                 
                <snip>
                To publish automatic discovery information

                1.      In the console tree of ISA Server Management,
click Firewall Policy. 

                        Where? <ms-its:Y:\Microsoft ISA Server 2004
Beta\isa.chm::/FW_H_PublishAutoDisc.htm#> 

                        *       Microsoft ISA Server 2004 
                        *       Server_Name 
                        *       Configuration 
                        *       Networks 

                2.      In the details pane, select the applicable
network (usually Internal). 
                3.      On the Tasks tab, click Edit Selected Network. 
                4.      On the Auto Discovery tab, select Publish
automatic discovery information. 
                5.      In Use this port for automatic discovery
requests, type the port number on which the ISA Server should listen for
WPAD and WSPAD requests. 

                 Notes

                *       To open ISA Server Management, click Start,
point to All Programs, point to Microsoft ISA Server, and then click ISA
Server Management. 
                *       Click the Apply button in the details pane to
save the changes and update the ISA Server configuration. 

                </snip>

                Hopefully this will sort things out :)

                Cheers Tom.

                Jason

                        Would the answer be applicable for ISA 2004?
