Dear Pouseele Sama,

Your post is just in time. Config Registry per KB885683 throw away whole
my pain for long!!!

It solves problems on conditons of webproxy authentication as follows,
1) Isafirwall detect at FCW 
2) Autodetect per WPC's browser
4) Autoconfig per FWC's browser based on URL FQDN I/O host_name
4) Autoconfig per WPC's broswer based on URL FQDN
those of which never works and becomes big hardness to deploy auto
configuration. No more POP-UP!!!

Dear Jim-sama,
Webproxy authentication did break not only FWC but also WPC. I am
sorry to send you the configuration data because it waste your time
and nothing to be identified.

Dear Shinder-sama,
You may refer to Pouseele-samma's article, and it shall be within your
next edition of ISA Guidebook. Before MS$ release KB, there must be
a lot of guys who can't depoly autoconfig under webauthentication or
likewise me, our misunderstanding is those autoconfig and also
autodisvoery
are merely based HTTP download from ISA, once webproxy authentication
required, it doest not therefore we can't enable authenticaton options!

Anyway, I am so extited to settle this problem even though it was fiinally
serveral figure touch.

Thanks again,

Roy Tsao
