Hello,
Did someone of you found a solution for this problem?
I have the same problem with two x64 WinXp clients.
Both are gettings the wpad.dat information from the
DHCP Server but it seems the IE cannt handle this
informations well and starts to make some dns requests.
When is insert the location of the wpad.dat file manually, the clients can use it.
Strange things....are happening sometimes
Thank you very much

Hi John,
Confirmed this is happening with both IE7 and IE8. Unfortunately I have no answer yet as to why it is not working.
I hope you have had better luck.
Thanks,
Alex.

Internet Explorer 7 does not retrieve wpad.dat
Hi,
I have a problem affecting every workstation in the domain. IE7 will not
automatically detect the proxy server using WPAD & DHCP.
Here is the situation.
- IE7 browser is set to "Automatically Detect Settings"
- DHCP is setup with option 252 providing URL to wpad.dat file
- URL is correct and wpad.dat file can be downloaded manually from browser
I have run Wireshark on a PC and captured the following sequence.
1 - PC sends DHCP Inform request
2 - Server DHCP ACK responds including option 252 and full wpad.dat URL
3 - PC goes onto to perform DNS query for "wpad.mydomain.com" etc.
Now from what I know IE7 should not attempt to do a DNS lookup if it
retrieved the WPAD URL from DHCP. I know for a fact it retrieved the URL but
for some reason it is not actually attempting to GET the wpad.dat file.
I have scoured every forum and article on the web I could find and found
nothing referring to this. Most suggestions are around using DNS instead. I
do NOT want to use DNS.
I have tried the following.
- Removing all group policies from the workstation
- Purging entries from the following reg key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections
- Disabling Automatic Proxy Results Caching with the following reg key:
HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings]"EnableAutoProxyResultCache"
Has anyone come across anything like this? And can help?
Many Thanks,
Alex.

I have been working on the same issue for a while now and cannot figure out
why the PC is not using the wpad.dat files.

IE7 & WPAD
Hi Alex,
I'm having the exact same issue, the only difference is that I use wpad with DNS and not DHCP.
The issue is only happening on some sites and only on certain pages within those sites.
Here are the sequence of events:
1. We have auto-detect settings with a wpad dns entry pointing to our ISA2006 proxy server
2. Launch a website and click on a link
3. Message is: Page cannot be displayed
4. Page is retrieved perfectly when using firefox with wpad or any other browser or with IE6 and wpad.
When used with IE7 or IE8 it fails when auto detect is enabled. If I put in the hostname of the proxy it works ok.
5. If you try to launch another site within this now failed session you cannot view that site. If you close the session (browser) and relaunch you can get to the site i.e. google
6. Results from a packet sniff is that the workstation is trying to retrieve the page directly from teh Internet and is bypassing wpad. Obviously, the workstation does not have a rule to bypass the Firewall and thus fails.
I cannot understand why it is trying to bypass wpad and get the page directly and why it only happens with IE 7 or IE 8.
Any help would be great because we due to roll out shortly and I do not want to remove auto-detect/wpad because it works grea, especially for remote users.
Thanks,
John.

This KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/en-us describes
a different problem but pointed to the right direction.
To solve the problem follow these steps:
When setting the
Change the value of the entry "DhcpConnForceBroadcastFlag" under the
following registry key from 1 to 0 (default value is 1).
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
\Interfaces\{GUID of your NIC}
This key should already exist. If not create it as REG_DWORD (32 Bit)
Then delete the entry "DefaultConnectionSettings" from the following
registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Connections
Then reboot your computer (you can also just restart the services
"DHCP" and "WinHttpAutoProxySvc").
After that Internet Explorer queries DHCP for WPAD (Windows sends out
a DHCP inform packet to the DHCP server).
Hope this helps others
