Hi Guys...

I am trying to use wpad with dhcp and it seems the dhcp service is stopped although its enabled on green.
I am using following lines in custom config but it seems there is problem somewhere as dhcp serivce is still stopped.

option wpad code 252 = text;
option wpad "h>>p://192.168.1.14/proxy.pac";
OR
option wpad "h>>p://192.168.1.14/wpad.dat";

Any quick suggestions will be appreciated..exactly what lines needs to be there in custom config??

Hi,

I figured it out, you only need to add {option wpad code 252 = text;} in custom config while add a host entry {wpad} in Network/Edit Host that points to your dhcp endian box ip.

Set a client to get ip from your dhcp i.e. endian box and ping wpad, it should resolve ip address of your endian box. Now set your browser {IE/Firefox}to automatic configuration and it should automagically start using endian as proxy with out proxy configuration on browser.

But i am still wondering about solution without host(wpad) entry!!
