RE: [PLUG] Re: MS proxy


If what I think is happening is happening, then the proxy server is using MS
Proxy Authentication.   From what I remember (very little) is actually
doesn't require authentication -- when you log on to the network, it logs
you on to everything, you get servers, printers, and proxy server.

I found this link from opera which does a better job explaining what I tried
to say, I think

http://www.opera.com/support/supsearch/supsearch.cgi?index=463

and this appears to be a discussion about the same topic with some probable
solutions (I can't try them, since I don't have a proxy server working this
way)

That'd be the socks support you're configuring. MS proxy also has a
proprietary protocol that makes it IE only.
