Today at 11:52am, Alexander Boulgakov expounded: ++ To clarify my situation: ++ The whole building is an ethernet based sub-net (mask ++ 255.255.255.128 I think). The only box connected to both the intranet ++ and the internet is this pos called rockbox (ip 66.112.238.1 I think - ++ crackers welcome :). We are issued dhcp. However, before we can send to ++ anywhere outside the building, we must open up a web browser, which ++ opens an https login with out account name/password. Then, it seems, ++ this rockbox proxy allows packets to get through (maybe its just a ++ firewall not a proxy -- I have never dealt with this kind of stuff ++ before). Thats it pretty much.
AIUI, currently, you do not have to set up a proxy in your web browser. The network firewalls do some magic and redirect your first outgoing HTTP to the login page, you login, and then the firewalls let you do regular stuff. In this case, installing your own proxy will definitely work, and you won't even have to do any special configuration. I've used FilterProxy before, and I was quite pleased with it. Type ``web proxy'' or ``http proxy'' into Freshmeat and pick one. (Then manually configure your computer and your roommate's to use your own proxy.) -- Paul Sack | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.uiuc.edu/~paulsack Q: What's the difference between USL and the Titanic?
