WPAD does work with firefox... If you select the "Automatically detect proxy"
setting in the proxy configuration.
To do this, You must edit the %programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\greprefs\all.js
file, and change the following line:
pref("network.proxy.type", 0);
... to ...
pref("network.proxy.type", 4);
I just need a clean and easy way to do this for all computers in our domain.
Can anybody help with that?
