Hello everybody We have Windows 7 x64 Clients with actual SP and Patches. We're in the process to migrate all the clients from an old proxy to a new one. The new proxy infrastructure works with a proxy-pac-file. With the old proxy w had configured our clients to search settings automatically. The clients just work fine with the new proxy infrastructure until we turned off our all proxy server. Since then there appear a warning icon on the LAN system tray icon. The Internet Explorer (and Firefox as well) work fine, but the icon still appear. Even if I put in the proxy directly (not via pac). If I turn the old proxy server on again, the warning icon disappear, but that's no solution for me. I've already tried to wright in de proxy via "netsh winhttp set proxy". It works for me inside the LAN, but if I left the LAN I have no internet connection anymore. So that is no solution for me. Best regards, Pascal

You can use a GPO to control how network status is detected. Check this link for details: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee126135(WS.10).aspx

Hello,<o:p></o:p> Thanks for your reply. I've changed de NCSI policy as descripted in your article and after this I booted the client and it doesn't changed anything.<o:p></o:p> In addition to that I've started the problem solver of Windows 7. The answer was (translated from German GUI): the internet connection was tested. You're able to connect to some websites. Do you need help with other problems?... So it can't find a problem but there is still a warning.

Hi, Based on my understanding, it seems that there has some issues with your PAC file. Therefore, please refer to WinHTTP AutoProxy Functions to double check your PAC file. And if you do not mind, you can provide the content of your PAC file for use to check. Also, please see You cannot connect to the Internet from a Windows Vista-based computer that uses a local .pac file for reference. Hope this helps. Jeremy Wu TechNet Community Support

Hi, I think we are on the right way, but I have not much experience with PAC files. So I don't know how to implement it correct into my file. Here ist our actual PAC file (generalized). I hope you will understand it. function FindProxyForURL(url, host){ var proxy_2 = "PROXY X.X.X.X3:8080; PROXY X.X.X.X4:8080"; var proxy_2_ext = "PROXY proxy.sample.ch:8080"; var proxy_1 = "PROXY X.X.X.X1:8080; PROXY X.X.X.X2:8080"; var proxy_81 = "localhost"; var proxy_no = "DIRECT"; var myip = myIpAddress(); //If the Website is hosted on the local Domains, no Proxy if (isPlainHostName(host)) return proxy_no; if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".sample.ch")) return proxy_no; //shared URLs no Proxy if (localHostOrDomainIs(host, "server.local")) return proxy_no; //Settings: URL Name no Proxy if (localHostOrDomainIs(host, "server2.local")) return proxy_no; //internal subnets no Proxy if (shExpMatch(host, "127.0.0.1")) return proxy_no; //If VPN Client external Proxy if (isInNet(myip, "X.X.X.0", "255.255.255.0")) return proxy_2_ext; //forward from one proxy to an other if (localHostOrDomainIs(host, "sample1.ch")) return "PROXY 192.X.X.22:8080"; // Client & Server Netze use Proxy /// if((isInNet(myip, "172.X.X.0", "255.255.255.0"))) { return proxy_1; } //Client & Server subnets use Proxy/// if ((isInNet(myip, "10.X.X.0", "255.255.255.0"))) { return proxy_2; } //Host Domain end with used Proxy 2 if (shExpMatch(host, "*.sample2.ch")) return proxy_2; //Client & Server Netze use Proxy if ((isInNet(myip, "X.X.X.0", "255.255.255.0"))) { if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".sample3.ch")) { if (localHostOrDomainIs(host, "www.sample3.ch")) return proxy_2; return proxy_no; } return proxy_2; } return proxy_81; }

Hi, The issue may be caused by that NLA service could not detect the internet connection. Please try to use nslookup to resolve dns.msftncsi.com and see if you can resolve it. If you could not resolve it, please try to access the website www.msftncsi.com to see the result. Best Regards Scott Xie
