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.

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.?
