Unfortunately, IE doesn't understand subnets; that field was specifically
intended for hostnames and FQDN.

Subject: [isalist] Slightly OT: Proxy Settings in IE


http://www.ISAserver.org



Having a bit of a problem with IE6 proxy server overrides..
Situation is our network has many subnets, with many devices on it that need
to be in a proxy exception list. Normal domain stuff is in a *.domain.com
override and that's sweet.
Problem is when I apply our exception list via Group Policy

ie *.domain.com;200.1.1.*;200.1.2.*;200.1.3.* etc... ( List is 433 Chars
long)

There is a limit to how many characters can be applied (Kb209252)
Manually it is 985, via IEAK it is 259 (and I assume via GP too) - the net
result is that IE ignores ALL the exception string if you go over 259
chars...

Does anybody know if there is a way to enter an IP range in there - have
tested but cannot seem to get it to work myself.

ie 200.1.1-200.*

Anybody else had this situation?

Cheers
Neil
