| 260079 | 2004-08-10 05:34:00 | if your using ICS... just use automaticly detect setings... If your using a Third Party Proxie server... you will be able to set what ports it uses... I think its so you could use more than one proxie if you wanted... and firewall issues... But im not to sure... not that clued up on networking.... |

| 260080 | 2004-08-10 05:45:00 | A proxy is an intermediate server that provides a service between a client (eg the browser on your pc) and a real server. The service it provides could be a cryptographic one (encoding requests/replies), a security one (deciding whether access is permitted in a particular direction), or simply providing a local cache of requests/replies (such as web pages) so that future requests can be replied to much more quickly. I imagine there are countless more services provided by proxies too. You (or the person who set up your internet access) would know if you had a proxy server - otherwise just leave it out. Hope this helps S |
