Run netscape. Then press:
1). Edit
\
2). ->Preferences
\
3). ->Advanced(click on the triangle)
\
4). ->Proxies
\
5). ->Manual Proxy Configuration(click on the square)
\
6). ->View
Inside view, you have these:
FTP Proxy: the.proxy.server Port: the_port
Gopher Proxy: the.proxy.server Port: the_port
HTTP Proxy: the.proxy.server Port: the_port
Security Proxy: the.proxy.server Port: the_port
WAIS Proxy: the.proxy.server Port: the_port
No Proxy for: domains and/or hosts you do not want to go via the proxy
(separated by commas)
SOCKS Host: (leave empty) Port: 1080
Press Ok. Then press Ok again.
If your site supports automatic proxy configuration (like tau.ac.il does),
then step 5). should be:
5). Automatic proxy configuration(click on the square).
\
6). -> Type in the Configuration location(URL) field something like this:
http://automatic.configuration.server/some_config_file.pac
Press Ok. Then press ok again.
I hope this helps.
For *.ac.il sites, the following will be right for the proxy server in the
Manual proxy configuration (I see you mail us from the technion, so I
assu,e you are within *.ac.il then):
the.proxy.server = wwwproxy.ac.il
the_port = 8080
Please note the above servers are only to be used by IIUCC sites.(*.ac.il,
and whomever has been authorized to use these resources).
