(It’s only supposed to check to the second level, but according to the [Microsoft Security Bulletin MS99-054 | http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms99-054.mspx] the third level was special-cased in some unspecified ways. Presumably someone could register <tt>wpad.co.nz</tt> and be really nasty if they wanted.)

Note: you might need to take the tick out of the check box and put it back in order to make it go.
Warning: beware that Internet Explorer 5.5+ may cache your wpad file and not recognize future changes you make to it -- this feature is referred to as Automatic Proxy Result Cache ([MS KB 271361 | http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;271361]). If you turn off "Automatically detect settings", save the change, restart IE, turn it back on, and restart IE again, then it will force a refresh of the <tt>wpad.dat</tt> file from your WebServer. (If you're lucky. It seems IE 6 refuses to flush even then.) Here is [a Google Groups discussion of the issue | http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=b6239t%24mif%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw].
