Correction.  We had a switch upgrade this weekend, ISA lost it's binding
to internal NIC.  That problem has been corrected and here's some better
results.

This says that IE is failing to obtain the configuration script. 
It gets dumped into the cache with a 1-hour TTL.

If you would, send me a capture of a "clean" IE start?
1. Open Netmon (Ethereal) & start capturing.
2. Start | Run | cmd
3. type 'ipconfig/flushdns & nbtstat -R & del ..\array*.script /s &
start http://isatools.org'
4. stop the capture

Send it off...

Ok, here's the results.

The del command got rid of a ton of scripts from the temporary internet
files.

After launching IE and running the dir command I get file not found.

I might have considered that if the error was not IE-generated as
opposed to some AX control or user-side script error.

Here's the upshot...
IE attempts to make a proxy connection for any IP address (yes,
including 127/8) when it's configured as either:
1. "auto-detect" or "config url" and either
  - no script is received
  - the script forces this behavior
2. "use a proxy server" and "bypass" is unchecked

Eric also stated that IE was configured to obtain the script from
http://fchap082.cmcinet.org:8080/array.dll?Get.Routing.Script.  
This is why I was interested in the contents of the script.

I did lie, though - the file to be searched for and deleted was not
"array.dll", but "array*.script".

Eric, could you retry with that filename?

Eric stated he was connecting to a database via IE.  While IE is the
client, there still needs to be some kind of interface with the
database, most likely a user or system DSN.  And while the command may
not have worked it's 1) easy to execute and 2) easy to revert from if it
doesn't work.
 
Nothing wrong with testing. :)  Afterall, even if it doesn't work, you
now know WinHTTP isn't a problem, which allows you to remove it with
certainty from the realm of possible causes.

IE still uses WinInet and proxycfg only affects WinHTTP.
That commands while useful for WinHTTP-based clients (BITS, OL2K3, etc.)
and is completely useless for IE-based connections.

Eric,

Here's one other thing to try.  At the command prompt, execute the
following command:

proxycfg -p <web proxy ip:port>

If that doesn't work, use the following command to reset it:

proxycfg -d

Hmmm, here's what I get, keep in mind that everything else works like it
should.

When I type the del command I get "Could Not Find C:\*array.dll*"

After I reload the script and type the dir command I get "File Not
Found"

Same thing if I change it to "Automatically detect proxy server" and
type dir, I get "File Not Found".

Like I said, everything else is working as it should.  It has to be
getting the correct script changes.  I can see the traffic change from
one ISA to the next as I change script settings.

Nope - that won't work in this case.

Eric, do you know for certain that the browser is getting the wpad
script?
You can tell by:
1. close all IE sessions
2. open a cmd window
3. type 'del \*array.dll* /s'
4. open IE and retry the connection
In the cmd window type 'dir \*array.dll* /s'

..do you see any new scripts?

Oops, sorry.
"Use automatic configuration script" is checked and the default address
that ISA creates is in for the address.
Example - ISA 2004 -
http://fchap082.cmcinet.org:8080/array.dll?Get.Routing.Script

Ok, I've been looking for the answer to this for about 45min.  Why would
ISA 2004 block a workstation from getting to 127.0.0.1?  Same
workstation going through ISA 2000 is able to access it's local
loopback.  Someone enlighten me please!
