As soon as you depend on "auto-magic" anything, you're in for a real
treat.
Double-check your DNS (or gawd help you, your WINS) server to make sure it
has the proper records and that it's responding to queries.
Check your DHCP server to make sure your wpad option (252) is configured
properly.
IOW, own your network or be owned by it.

Subject: [isalist] Resolution of wpad/wspad?
http://www.ISAserver.org
-------------------------------------------------------
Had a bit of a problem this morning... Internet browsing traffic became
extremely sluggish, so I tried it on another computer and it too was
sluggish. I looked on the ISA server, and traffic going over the Internet
NIC dropped to almost nothing. I opened up the FWC and clicked on "Detect
Now", it hung there for a minute and then failed to find the server.
So, I dropped to a command prompt and did a lookup on wpad and wspad, both
of which resolved instantly. Then, all of a sudden, everything started to
work again!
Why would doing a simple DNS lookup for wpad/wspad (I tried both, so I'm
not sure which one did it) get everything working again? Doesn't the FWC do
that automagically?
