Quite simple really, on all my xp machines when logged in as a user (not
admin) my local internet address requests in internet explorer are going out
to the internet, so this means \\server\exchange (amongst others) are failing
to work. I have the 'by pass proxy server for local addresses' ticked in
group policy so what else is there?
we don't have an on site proxy server.
external internet works as usual.
'automatically detect settings' is not ticked.
'ping server' resolves to the correct internal IP, and 'ping IP' resolves to
the correct server name.
I have restarted everything.
PLEASE HELP! THANKS.

Your slashes are the wrong way around for a web address.

How about http://server/exchange

yes, my mistake, that is what I meant.
what else apart from the 'bypass proxy server for local addresses' tick box
dictates what happens to local server requests?

When you say that you don't have an on-site proxy, do you mean that you
still enter an external proxy? If there's no proxy specified, then the tick
box has no effect.

If you have multiple subnets, and the server is on a different subnet to the
workstations, the tick box you mentioned won't help. In this case, click
the "advanced" button next to the "bypass proxy" tick box and enter your
subnets into the exceptions text box.

No I do need to enter an external proxy and I tick the 'bypass proxy local
address box' and I have added some exceptions, ALL through group policy. Do
you think it's worth adding my entire network name and IP range as an
exception? *.domain.com and 10.4.*.*

Thanks 4 help

If there's no proxy involved at all, then it makes no difference at all
whether the bypass proxy box is ticked. The problem must lie elsewhere.

This is odd, though, as you appear to have tested that DNS is working as it
should by pinging.
