I am having problem with Firefox 1.5, FF2.XX and IE 6 and 7 and proxy
autoconfiguration. After a few days of searching and trying, i am
unable to use autoconfiguration for my proxy.
1. I have the following dhcpd.conf file:
max-lease-time 28800;
default-lease-time 14400;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
ddns-update-style interim;
option WPAD code 252 = text;
#
# rimith.local
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.225.0 {
option WPAD "http://192.168.1.17/proxy.pac";;
option routers 192.168.1.20;
dynamic-bootp-lease-length 10;
ignore client-updates;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.17, 200.75.200.2;
max-lease-time 14400;
ddns-updates off;
default-lease-time 4000;
range 192.168.1.126 192.168.1.239;
}
2. the MIME type has been set on the webserver.
3. also, i have my internal dns set to point wpad.rimith.local to the
server 192.168.1.17, and also i have a link for wpad.dat pointing to
proxy.pac on the root of the webserver.
None of my clients are able to set the proxy automatically. But if I
set the address for the pac file manually, everything works o.k.
can someone shed some light on my problem?
thanks!
