Proxy server 2.0

First of all, have you installed SP1 for Proxy 2.0? This is important, as some of the packet filtering and access control stuff doesn't work very well without it. Second of all, for a good test, make sure that packet filtering is turned off entirely - under the properties of the Web Proxy make sure that Enable packet filtering on external interface is NOT checked. Then, also turn OFF access control (temporarily for testing purposes). Make sure your client is set to use the Web Proxy, ratherthan the Winsock Proxy - do this by going to the Internet properties, Connections tab, click LAN Settings button, click Use a proxy server, enter the required info, and make sure that "bypass proxy for local" is checked. If you can't browse with these settings, then there is something wrong with Proxy Server and you need to uninstall and reinstall it. If you can browse with everything turned off, try turning access control back on. If you can still browse, then the problem is in your packet filtering settings. If you want to enable packet filtering, turn it back on again and try it with just the standard (MS default) settings. Also, as a side note, you do NOT need the Winsock Proxy client on the workstation if you are doing only Internet access through a web browser. The only reason to install Winsock Proxy client is if you have other programs running that require it. Hope this helps!
