Winsock Proxy Clients Appear to Slow After Changing Permissions

ID: Q191145

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Proxy Server version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

After you change file permissions on the \MSPCLNT directory on a Proxy Server client computer, all Winsock Proxy access to the Internet may become very slow.

CAUSE

The Winsock Proxy client Setup program creates the Msplock.lck file in the \MSPCLNT directory. This file is used as a "lock file" in the process of updating the client configuration from the Microsoft Proxy Server computer.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, make sure the Msplock.lck file does not have the read-only attribute, and verify that the group EVERYONE has access to this file.
