Corporate IT handles everything. We use WPAD (web proxy auto-discovery). Windows recognizes by default. Some other things do. Not as many as I'd like. Some things have to be manually configured to use the proxy. Firefox can use WPAD, but doesn't enable it by default. We push a config file to fix that. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
