Hi Jonas, I don't understand exactly what to change - and where - is this the /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf ? And ... (see below)

Sorry for my ignorance, regards Ralf P.S.: I did some research to fill in the holes in my knowledge (and hopefully, that of others, too): WPAD: Acronym for Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol. If your DomainName is machine.something.meta.net.nz then InternetExplorer will request the following urls1? until it finds a WPAD configuration file. * [link]http://wpad.something.meta.net.nz/wpad.dat * [link]http://wpad.meta.net.nz/wpad.dat * [link]http://wpad.net.nz/wpad.dat ---- Other alternatives include (subst. host.co.nz for your hostname): The DHCP method (the MicrosoftCorporation "preferred option", which like most MSFT'isms, doesn't actually work). Add the following to your /etc/dhcpd.conf option option-252 "!http://wpad.host.co.nz/proxy.pac";; With ISC DHCP v3+, 'option-#' options don't work, You have to do this in the global section of your configuration: option wpad-url code 252 = text; (define a new option) And add this in either the global or appropriate subnet section(s) of your configuration: option wpad-url "!http://wpad.host.co.nz/proxy.pac";; (use new option) ---- The DNS method(s). Add all or some of the follwing entries to your DNS zone file. $ORIGIN host.co.nz. wpad IN A 192.168.0.254 IN TXT "service: wpad:!http://wpad.host.co.nz:80/proxy.pac"; wpad.tcp IN SRV 0 0 80 wpad.host.co.nz. ---- src: http://www.wlug.org.nz/WPAD
