Is this a Proxy Server Problem?

Maybe active caching? I would think that the Proxy would know not to
force an auto dial just to refresh its cache, but maybe not.

I have the same problem with a new W2K network. I found some help in the
newsgroup. W95 and NT are doing broadcasts from the netbios. These
broadcasts initiate an outdial to the ISP.
By Zyxel under the following URL I found a filterset for blocking these
NetBIOS packets.

But it's not working on my W2K System :-( But I hope it helps for
your Problem.

We had a similar problem, although no ISDN, just wierd access at odd hours,
turned out some users had downloaded Real Player and it was in the systray
of the offenders. If you remember the freeware freason of the real player
will send your listening habits to Real.... They were nice enough to set
this to send at night though........!

got caching enabled on the web proxy. If you do, there are settings
within that which keep links alive, and will continue to access these
overnight. Look at those settings under caching and you may find the
culprit. If you have any questions, let me know.
