MC Proxy use
« on: January 19, 2004, 04:17:52 am »

Is it possible to use MC through proxy? I can't see an option and I thought it would be as it is standard in many programs.
I am behind a proxy server now and I can't use YADB and get lyrics!

Cheers
Rich.

It automatically uses the proxy settings you have set in Internet Explorer.

Thanks for the reply Jim, that would explain a few things. But I am using a proxy through dial-up and the internet explorer settings do not support this. In the control panel it says These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections.
I have to use avant browser to browse the web because it has its own proxy settings.
Any workarounds for this?

Jim

I keep getting a failure when I try to connect to my Media Server - I have a proxy running but IE is configured correctly.

When I connect from a site with no proixy it works well.

Any ideas?

Thanks

=====EDIT======

It seems to be working now but sometimes I have to load three or four times before it happens without error
