Thanks for replying Nick. The BT Business Satellite 500 account gives
me a proxy address and an IP address (which is adjacent). Before the
router, one computer would have these addresses located in the
appropriate places in the Network setup and the Proxy setup would have
the proxy address and port set, for http only. When the router was
first set up, using the same settings, there is no place in the router
set up for proxy settings. I kept the settings on computer as they
were (addressing the proxy address BT set) but it did not work
properly, so took the proxy settings off the computer completely and
got access to http back again but now much slower page loading than
when the computer was connected directly. I have consequently wondered
whether I should enter the new router's address and the correct port to
see if that would be what Linksys intend in this situation but they
seem to have no idea what to advise. BT have run comparative tests
with me and established that the page loading is vastly slower than it
should be (10 - 15 secs against 50 - 60 secs). There is apparently
lots of help for Linksys owners at their web site but the support is
very much for windows folk and much of the instructions are rather
"opaque" to say the least. I could just experiment but I like to be
sure of what i am doing, especially where my livelihood is concerned.
Thanks.

My guess would be that you set up the WRT54G in the standard way, then
set
the proxy server so that its �public� port uses the WRT54G as its
gateway.
Then set your client systems up so that they point at the proxy server
for
anything that the proxy server supports (for example, http requests).
I�m
not sure from your email exactly what problems you are experiencing
except
for the slow web browsing? In what way do you think the WRT54G is not
set up
correctly to work with the proxy server? Without a bit more info it�s
hard
to help further...
