-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Mean,
@29-Jun-2003, 03:42 +0530 (23:12 UK time) Mean Drake [MD] in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Bat: MD> .. Is it a matter of configuring TB! to use the proxy server. Yes. Proxy servers do not usually provide proxying for the primary mail server ports. MD> Should it not detect network settings as configured for Internet MD> Explorer. No. MD> (OE fails to retrieve mail too even though it shares proxy MD> settings with IE). Quite right. MD> Any help is appreciated. If I need to access any POP3 (inbound) mail servers through my proxy here, I have to define "mapped ports" to translate (proxy) my local connections to port nnnn on proxy.silverstones.com to port 110 on pop3.email_isp.net. This is fairly easy if you only have one POP3 service to hit. Then you only have to use direct mapping of the local 110 port to the remote 110 port. It gets more complex when you have multiple servers to query. Then you have to start using local (mapped on the proxy server) port numbers of 5110, 6110, 7110, etc. To do any of this you need direct administrative access to the proxy server to be able to map these ports to the external servers as required. You would have to configure any email software to address the pop3 server through your proxy server on the mapped port (e.g. proxy.lan.net, port 7110). Using NAT may well make this completely unnecessary, but I have yet to get to grips with NAT, having got my proxy completely under control and working to my every whim here. MD> PS: Once this is solved I'll need to look into getting my FTP MD> client to Work. Again, this is about the proxy server supporting FTP proxy service. Mine does this on port 8021 and you have to tell your FTP client (which are you using?) to use a firewall/proxy on proxy.lan.net on port 8021 (or whatever). - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.63 Beta/11 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 (C) 1997-1999 Network Associates, Inc. and its affiliated companies. iQA/AwUBPv4oUjnkJKuSnc2gEQKYbQCfZFMbOpC+28CpJXWmIZzlkezP6x4AoIof oZNCAeYxG2pbzV/BSqs1a3Ix =PP+5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
