Recently we had to rebuild our Proxy 2.0 server (Thanks Code Red II, and the wonderful patch from Microsoft that screwed everything up), and its now up and running, even better than before. We can connect fine with a NT4.0 workstation system, and surf better than ever. Our exchange works ok also, BUT no WIN9x (Or ME) system will connect to the internet. The only thing changed is the Proxy and IIS, so what could we have missed?

Does anyone have a WIN9x and NT setup that works> Any chance of a snapshot of the settings?

Thanks in advance!

hmm,

I only have "everyone" added that may use the www service. not domain accounts, since they do not really loggin on the domain.

Since you rebuilt your Proxy, have you added your domian users & granted them Protocol access like HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, POP3 & SMTP. I guess the name must have changed, even if it did not, on Win9x systems you'll have to..

1. Click on IE -Tools - Iternet Options - Connections - Lan Settings, here check for Proxy Server name, Proxy Script & Automatic Settings.
You must have your proxy name etc. there, enter new proxy name & then try, if it does not work...
2. Go to Control-Pannel - WSP Client, here check/chenge server name & "Update Now". If it gets updated and says you need to restart your system, your win9x system is working fine with Proxy. CLick IE & work. If it does not work...
3. Click on Start-Prorgams-MSPClint-Unistall (remove Proxy), then reinstall from //NEW-PROXY-Name/MSPClient.
This surely has to work.

This did the trick Thanks! Now I need to figure out why the NT 4.0 workstations worked but not the WIN 9X systems.
