Locked Internet Explorer 8 not using wpad.dat

    Hi I work for a school and we are about to roll out a heap of laptops for kids.  They will be bringing their laptops to school and taking them home so we are trying to get them to "just work" when they bring them to and from school.  To do this we have set up DNS and IIS 6.0 to server out a wpad.dat file while they are at school so all their connections will go through the school ISA 2006 proxy and when they are at home because the proxy can not be found it will automatically connect them locally to their home set up.

     

    Internet Explorer 8 is set to automatically detect settings but for some reason it is not applying the wpad.dat settings and trying to connect to website without going through the proxy.  If we set Internet Explorer 8 to use an automatic configuration script using the wpad.dat it works fine and Internet Explorer 8 can connect to sites through the proxy.  Firefox and Internet Explorer 6 are also set to automatically detect settings and both of them are working.

     

    We are testing on 4 machines 3 are running Windows 7 Enterprise 32bit and the other is Windows Server 2003 which has IE6 on it, all machines are part of the same domain.

     

    I have tried doing the sets here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc302643.aspx#DNSIssues as well as a few others sites suggestions.

    Out wpad.dat file looks like this

    function FindProxyForURL(url, host)

    {

    if (isPlainHostName(host))

    return "DIRECT";

    else

    return "PROXY ourproxyservername.domain.name.:8080";

    }

    Any help would be great.
