for best performance you should setup the hosts on your network to receive dhcp information from the sme server. this way your sme will send them the default route, dns, and other info which should in theory allow them to access the net without requiring proxy config.
otherwise, make sure you specify your sme server as the default route on your other hosts. see how that goes. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bill Taylor Sent: Saturday, 6 July 2002 11:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] path to sme server Sme server has been up and running for several weeks, seems to work fine; even blocks most of the pron emails in standard trim. Setup was as simple as Jeff suggested . The laptop went straight onto the web, over the network without any alteration, (w95, netscape) but the other boxes (rh7.2, netscape) needed to be set up with a proxy before they could access the web. I have since upgraded them to 7.3, and netscape or mozilla still appear to need proxy, although sme suggests it should be set in the preferences as direct dial . Should I have some form of routing set up on each box, or is the proxy setup o.k.?
