Proxy Server 2.0 settings

[BobbyR]

I am running Proxy Server 2.0 on an NT4.0 server..
I have a high speed cable modem on my server, which uses a 3C905 nic card to interface with the cable modem.. and a 3c515 for the internal network.
I want to share my ISP's IP address on my two client computers.. both client PCs running Win98 and have 3C515 Nic cards.
Both the internet and the intranet run fine on my server. What are the NIC card settings (protocol binding settings) for both Server and Client PCs so I can share the internet on all PCs..?

I assume you mean that you want all computers to access the internet through Proxy Server 2.0?

If you want your clients to connect through Proxy Server 2.0:
1. http & ftp and content caching through Web Proxy. (internet browser): Just add:
http://servername
and: port 80

2. Mail (SMTP & POP3) uses winsock, and you need to configure Winsock proxy on proxy server. Add the needed protocol here. Install Winsock proxy client on computers that need access to mail, diablo etc...

Proxy Server 2.0 does not support NAT, so the only address visible by the internet is the IP address for the computer running Proxy Server 2.0.(from ISP)

Computers running on the intranet only need to have an IP address on the same subnet(intranet).
For example:
Proxy Server: IP address: 10.10.10.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Client1: 10.10.10.2
255.255.255.0

Client2: 10.10.10.3
255.255.255.0

If you need more information, or I have misunderstood your problem, please post a replay and let me know... http://discussions.virtualdr.com/smile.gif

The help was great... seems like I'm almost there..
When I start the browser on the client PC, it takes me to a page titled " Microsoft Internet Information Server"
On the browser's status bar, it reads "Local Intranet" and I am unable to browse the internet.. All the permission settings on Proxy Server have been set to unlimitted access.. What next..??
Your help is grealty appreciated

Maybe I didnt explain it well enough.
If you type in this address in the address box in an internet browser:
http://servername
Then you are NOT trying to connect to the internet, you are visiting the web server on your NT Server.

First, make sure you have configured the internet browser for proxy server:

Internet Explorer 5.0: "Internet Options" > "Connections" > "Lan Settings" > check "Use a proxy server" and type "http://servername" in the address box and "80" in the port box.

Then just use the internet browser as usual..

There could also be another reason to your problem; if IIS and/or Proxy Server 2.0 is misconfigured, you could end up at the " Microsoft Internet Information Server" web page everytime you try to connect to a web page located on the internet. Think this problem is mentioned in the networkgods Proxy FAQ.


Here are some links to Proxy Server 2.0 information:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/proxy/faq/

Also use MS Knowledge Base online(if you dont get if per mail because of MS certification program):
