>anybody out there with experience in successfully setting up 
>Internet Explorer 5.1 on Mac OSX
>to use an automatic proxy configuration script (such as: 
>http://library.ucsc.edu/proxy/libroxy.pac)?
>I've had no luck trying to set it up, even though I managed to 
>configure Netscape 6.2 on OS X to do the trick. (All other browsers 
>seem to have an option to check for "use automatic proxy 
>configuration script" and a field to enter a url.)
>
>The library provides proxy access to restricted resources through 
>this script. Any other platform/browser combo can be successfully 
>configured in a snap, but I have had no such luck with this.
>
>If you've done this before successfully, please don't spare me...!!

>Thanks!!!
