RE: [squid-users] Microsoft Updates

This is not squid related specifically, but may explain why XP SP2
machines stop working through squid.

http://www.ozzu.com/ftopic33581.html

We have tested this on one XP SP2 machine which was trying to go
direct, even with correct proxy setttings. Forcing the settings with

"proxycfg -p proxy:80"

fixed the problem. It also solved the problem with Norton Liveupdate on
the same machine, where manual liveudpate would use the proxy, but
automatic would not.

Run "netstat -o" on the client to determine which apps are not using the
proxy.
