Strange thing...

I have ISA2004 and the clients are running the firewall app. Sometimes when
you open up a browser on a workstation it says detecting proxy settings and
takes a while for the page to load. How can I speed this up?

The ISA server is NOT on the domain right now. I only have a few clients on
the domain and i'm switching from a workgroup setup to a domain one. Could
this have something to do with it?

Thanks

Doubtful. We see this for up to ten seconds if the temporary Internet files
are deleted or if they come in via VPN.

If "Automatically Detect Settings" is ticked for the connection in IE, it'll
do its Web Proxy AutoDiscovery (WPAD) thing, until it decides that there's
no WPAD and uses the next configured option.

Implementing Autodiscovery on ISA Server (if possible) and/or implementing a
WPAD server that's responsive and accessible might provide a faster
response.

If you never plan to enable WPAD, you might untick "Automatically Detect
Settings" in IE, though roaming (laptop/notebook) users will probably want
it left on.

Under LAN settings in IE I should have Automatically detect settings and Use
automatic configuration script checked and have Use a proxy server for LAN
unchecked?

If you have "use a proxy server for LAN" checked and something entered, the
end user will never be able to browse the Internet if the proxy is not
available.
