Yes, exactly the same happens here, used to be fine, but now Autoupdates are blocked. I too force users to use the proxy, and in the firewall logs, I see that Port 80 is blocked, so *something* in the Autoupdate software is trying to use port 80, and go round the proxy, but the firewall catches it. Not a fault with Squid, Something in there is trying to access M$ without observing the OS proxy settings! Mike
