Help with IE5 PLEASE!

[rec...@go.com]

I have proxy 2.0 installed and working with several computers running
ie 4.0. I just put up some workstations running IE 5.0 with the url of
the proxy server. The proxy is blocking out internet sites for clients
running 4.0, but the people with IE 5.0 are able to access any of the
sites blocked on the proxy server, *even though* they are still
autoconfigured to the proxy!! Can someone please tell me what is going
on? Is IE 5.0 incompatible with proxy 2.0? What am I doing wrong?
Need help soon by monday or our 5.0 clients will have "open access" and
that is a bad thing :)

Well, your probably not going to like this, but we have had the same problem
twice because we screwed something up in IIS or Proxy. What happens is
Proxy Server opens wide and lets anyone get on the net (turn off proxy in
IE4.0 and it will get onto the Web). The reason IE5.0 appears to still be
using the Proxy Server, is because he has an autodetect connection option
that IE4.0 does not have. So, everytime you fire up IE5.0 with this option
he does an autodetect and notices the Proxy Server is not functioning and
overrides the Proxy settings and goes straight out to the web.
Unfortunantely, Microsoft was not much help to us and we ended up removing
and reinstalling IIS and Proxy Server. I am sure there is another way to do
this, but we have not found it yet.
