I have been using sygate since the beta version of the webshield and sygate has always asked my if I want to allow FF or IE to access the internet when set to ask.
And when I set them to block, they are blocked,.
However I did a reinstall of windows xp today, put sygate back and noticed that IE and FF were able to access the internet without sygate asking me. Furthermore when I blocked them both they could still access the internet.
Anyway I think I know why.
Before my reinstall I have always had this option unticked,
Enable smart DNSIt is located @ Tools > options > security > Enable Smart DNS.
I also have smart dhcp unticked but I find its the dns one thats causing the problem.
With smart DNS unticked sygate will always ask me to allow FF or IE to access the internet when I set to to ask
And when i block them they do not work .
Is this a cure for the local proxy issue with sygate and webshield?
