I need help to find my proxy port number?
 

Where do I see it?

I also need info on my proxy server. Is that the same as my IP adress?

ahhh...the computer illiterate. :rolleyes:

Yes indeed.

If i'd just been born 5 years later...

I was speaking about myself :o

Well stop that.

People could get offended. :p

no





which browser?

Internet explorer

tools -> internet options -> connections

assuming you have a LAN connection then click LAN settings (otherwise highlight the dial-up connection and click settings)

you will be presented with a proxy settings box containing proxy ip address and port no.

Right.

But i don't know what to write in the port box.

well you should have been given that


try port 80

That's right. 80 is what it says.

But when i type my IP adress together with that port number it wont connect to the internet.

Could my router cause the problem perhaps??

why are you typing your ip address?

if you are using a proxy server, you should enter the ip address of the proxy server and the port

I obviously don't know what a proxy server is. I may not even have one.

Thought it was something all computers had.

you only need a proxy server when internet access is restricted


or blocked






if your router is acting as your gateway, then no proxy is needed.

Oh. Thanks.

Sorry for waisting your time then. :o

This thread is just entertainment of the highest level. If I only i could some how find a way to capture it's essence and inject it into my brain.

Are you being deep or sarcastic? Or just drunk?

a little of each.... put them together, what have you got, you got a perfect match..

Hell, I'll do ya. :D


What are we looking at by the way??
