> Configuring the client to use the proxy is a solution. I understand what you're saying, but we specifically do not want to configure the client to use a proxy and for a good reason... and not because it's difficult to configure everyone's IE to use a proxy (it's easy with Windows Group Policy).
The problem is with mobile users who plug their laptops into a broadband connection at a hotel, their house, etc. If their browser is set to use a proxy for LAN connections, then they won't be able to use IE when not on our corporate LAN. Transparent proxying seems to provide a perfect workaround to this problem (besides the recent discovery that a few web pages show up "blank"). It'd be interesting to figure out if the problem is with Squid or IE. --- Rod Savard, MCP, CCA - Senior Network Administrator SCM Consultants, Inc. - www.scm-ae.com (509) 783-1625 or (509) 948-1254
