dhcp + wpad + firefox

[Glenn Satchell]

Hi Eduardo

When you fire up the browser do you see anything in the dhcp and
apache server log files? You should be seeing a DHCPINFORM in the dhcp
logs, and an entry in the apache access.log.

The wpad entry point to port 8181, is Apache listening on this port?

Have you tried using snoop, tcpdump, ethereal, etc, to look at traffic
from the PC to see if it is attempting to use any of these services?

regards,
-glenn
