localzuk Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Its gonna be one of those weeks I think. One of our teachers is unable to access the internet via Internet Explorer. Works fine in Chrome. They both get their proxy settings from the same place (Internet Options - Automatically detect, and the WPAD.dat is being received fine). I'm at a bit of a loss where to even start to figure this one out. If Chrome can access and use the wpad.dat file just fine, and Internet Explorer can access all intranet sites just fine, what is happening?
Steve21 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Can IE get to it if it's set directly to proxy? Could be random trust settings etc, lack of certificates? Steve
Sagima Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 We had something similar a couple of times recently. We fixed it by deleting their local profile and then it started working again
sparkeh Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Have you altered the contents of WPAD recently? Deleting the local cached copy of the WPAD file can help sometimes (I have had similar issues). Edited July 6, 2015 by sparkeh
GuyJD Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Can you reset the IE settings to default and let it pick up the GP again?
danelliott87 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Try resetting IE to its default settings from the internet options menu
cooka Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Are you able to ping external site in cmd? Ping 8.8.8.8 see if its allows you out.
