Re: What browser is best? Answer this first ????????????

I have no idea to be honest there.  I am not familiar with that MS product.  
It is a proxy server of some sort and it is doing authentication based on 
your output.  I think Mozilla can do authentication(I might be wrong), but 
knowing MS it is very possible that they are doing some proprietary auth deal.

Now in Mozilla there is a setting for automatic proxy configuration with a 
given url, but again you would need to talk to your admins to see if that 
would work.  Other than that suggestion I can't help. . .sorry.
