SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Internet News Server (INS) is not compatible with Microsoft Proxy Server.



CAUSE
INS runs as a Microsoft Windows NT service, and only allows the use of a local system account. This means Microsoft Proxy Server (and other "smart" proxies that use account names) will not allow connections to pass through it.

If a proxy server does not use account names (also known as a "dumb proxy"), it should work with no problems.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Commercial Internet System INS version 1.0.

Additional query words: 1.00 Inetinfo.exe NNTP INS
