Re: [Plug] Proxy Server





We could never get netscape to work specifying the proxy server. The only
thing that would work is WSP client (yuck). Is MS Proxy a compatible "real"
Proxy server?

A standard MS Proxy configuration only allows HTTP and (I believe) FTP
connections.  These standard connections do not use the SOCKS interface.
You are only required to use SOCKS if you're going to need to access other
services.  Did you specify the proxy address in your web browser?
BTW, bandwidth-throttling is a valid use of a proxy server, he said with a
note of defensiveness.
