You can bypass the proxy. The box is asking if there is a SOCKS proxy or something like that. Many cable providers have HTTP proxys and that's about it. They can, if they wanted to, make you use the proxy, which you would enter into your browser and not your modem/router. They would block connections to anywhere with a destination port 80 on their firewall except from the proxy box. But they usually don't.
I have a cable modem at a place I stay at in Dallas and you are supposed to use a http proxy buy I never do and it works. -e On Fri, 19 Oct 2001, tack wrote: > hey all, > > does anybody know of any cable modem setting quirks?
