Proxy address

Post by Douglas »

Hi All,

I just started working at a pulic library. I am not sure if the machines running PWB2 have the correct proxy server address. Can someone advise me of the correct address. Currently they have 127.0.0.1. When I uncheck do not use a proxy server the machines get to all of the websites they are supposed to get to.

Please help.

Thanks,

Douglas

If the sites work without it, but not with it, then I would say it is wrong.

What it sounds like is someone was using the local host IP address (127.0.0.1) as a proxy filter. This is done by setting the local host as the proxy then excluding the sites you want to allow.
