Creating a proxy.pac file

I have created a simple proxy.pac file so that I can point this to my browser without having to always change these settings.
I have used IE8 to point to the file on my c drive in the following format:
Address is pointing to: file://c:/proxy.pac
which is the location of the file.

The problem is it snot working and Im wondering if there are any troubleshooting steps I can take to find out why.
I want to test this before deploying to the domain via GPO
thanks

this is what my proxy.pac file looks like:

function FindProxyForURL(url,host) {

if (
(isInNet(host,"10.xx.xx.0","255.255.255.0")) ||
(isInNet(host,"10.0.0.0","255.255.0.0")) ||
(isInNet(host,"192.168.10.0","255.255.255.0")) ||
(isInNet(host,"127.0.0.0","255.255.255.0"))
)
return "DIRECT";
else
return "PROXY proxy address.com.au:80; DIRECT"; }

I think there are three / after file: and you should check if the user has read access to the file.

I am doing this locally on my laptop and I have tried with 3 and 4 /// but apparently IE has 2 - none will work 2,3 or 4 :(

just tried that, no luck unfortunately.
Is this supposed to work with IE8 on Win 7 the way I have set it up. I didnt think it would be so difficult.
