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).
