So you're using PAC, _not_ manual configuration? In that case we'll so whatever
your pac script says...

Can you attach the pac file, and mention a url which uses the wrong server?

You PAC URL needs to be a URL, not a hostname:port#.

"emea-auto.proxy.att.com:8001" should be: http://emea-auto.proxy.att.com:8001/

PAC lacks good error handling, so if this failed, it was probably silent.

Could you tell me more about "socksyfy" (step #1)?

I use Hummingbird Socks client. To seamlessly connect to socks from all programms.

Ivan: need update, in RC1, do you have problems if you use a valid URL in the
Proxy AutoConfig preference?

Comment 8

[Ivan Brkanac]

It is the same if I write http://emea-auto.proxy.att.com:8001/ for auto proxy.

Comment 9

What's an example of a URL that is available via the Proxy?

I think we need to write a more simplified PAC file and have you test it in your
environment.

Comment 10

[Ivan Brkanac]

I can only acces urls on intranet and all internet urls are unavaiable.

Comment 11

[benc]

Your .pac file is a bit complicated. 

Can you modify the following PAC, and access it as a file:/// URL:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
        return "PROXY <proxy server>:<port>";
} 

So that it would point you just to a single proxy, then test your setup again?
(I recommend creating a new profile)

Comment 12

[Ivan Brkanac]

When I make file with 
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
        return "PROXY 135.76.193.3:8000";
}
and put it for auto proxy then It is almoust working, actualy Internet is working
but then INTRANET isn't working.

-> NEW
Okay.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. We had some contributors that would
pick up analysis at this point, but I think they are inactive now.

Since the simple PAC file worked for you, that means PAC w/ SOCKS works. So the
problem you are having is probably some kind of syntax problem in your file.

That could be difficult because of the complexity of your file, but that is the
next step.
