Dear Friends,

I have a PDC and a BDC running windows NT4.0 sp6, and the PDC is also web server. MS Proxy server 2.0 is installed on it and also its hotfix SP1.
Everything was normal until I changed my site to another folder in my IIS 4.0 and after that get it back to the former folder. From this moment on I was not able to browse the internet at my desktops. ONly from PDC and BDC I could do it. And the strange point of it is that only one desktop now is able to browse the internet.
WhenI changed my site from one folder to another and got it back to the original folder I couldn't browse it unless I remove the configurations of LAN setting in my IE5.0. I didn't change any configuration in my proxy, however now I'm in deep trouble, because there's no more internet access via proxy in the enterprise, only one desktop and the servers. I have checked the proxy configurations and I didn't find anything that I could call bad setting. After checking the configuration in the IE of the desktop which browses normally I found there the following:
tools internet options connections lan settings?
all the checkboxes in this page were unchecked
however in the boxes Address is written http://myserver?80/array.dll?get.routing.script andin the Address below http://myserver port 80
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Paulo

I don't know if the basic problem is the same then here in the office, but it looks so.
I've the problem as we got some PC's more. I installed the Proxy Client, but the client could not contact the server. The PC can see all allowed objects on the server - so the network as basic is not the problem. IE find also the why out to the internet. But all Applications which need the proxy client not.
After some days of expermenting I find out it is enough to install the client on the new computer. The client could not find the server, yet then I copy the whole proxy client directory from a "working" client to the proxy client directory and in this moment the client find the server. Don't ask me why please. As some weeks later a "old" PC could not finde the proxy server, I make the same procedure and it works again. At least it looks like the proxy server / client loos some thing after same times. The re-installation don't solve the problem. Only the copy of the working client. I think theproblem is the INI file, but I could not find out what.
Good Luck
