My setup is a non-transparent proxy running gentoo. Simply put, if you want to browse, set the proxy option in your browser. With that said, we have had difficulty in connecting to a share point site/server for one of our external groups. We had already set the connection-auth=on to fix a similar issue a few months back, but we cannot connect to this site from windows 7 pro with ANY browser. We 'can' connect from the windows XP desktops, just not from windows 7. I have try to toggle on/off the pipeline_prefetch with no success. I've tried both versions 3.1.9 and 3.1.8. Even with a default squid.conf in a different networks on both IE 8 and 9(beta). Again, will work with XP but not on windows 7 pro (with or without service pack1) Can someone point me to some additional documentation or shed some light on this. Vernon
