[WEB4LIB] trouble-shooting for reasons why our squid proxy serverlog-in

[Thomas M G Bennett]

We have been having more problems with Innovative's Proxy and IE 5 and 5.5
where we didn't have proxy problems before.  I just tried IE 5 and it
wouldn't even connect to our homepage without proxy and netscape would.  On
a public PC I got the access denied message using IE 5 on WIN2K to our
homepage with http:// preceding the URL.

Sorry I can't help, but I would be interested in seeing what's up MS's
sleeve with this one( or someone's sleeve).

Greetings, oh collective wisdom!

Here are the facts:
1) our proxy server is working fine
2) most of the patrons accessing the proxy server are successful
3) about 4 of our patrons (all of whom are using MS Windows 5 or higher)
are encountering a problem when they try to log-on--
as far as we can tell, they have configured their local computers correctly
(w/ re: proxy servers IP address and port #) and all "cookies" are
enabled.  However, our proxy-server log-in box is not popping up on their
screens when they refresh/reload.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Renee
