Proxy Server Problem

baldur0300

Hi all,
I just got broadband which is working perfectly except for one small issue. I used to connect to my college server to access databases when I was on dial-up. I entered the appropriate info into the lan settings and while I can logon to the proxy server I can't access any of the databases because my IP address is not recognised. I'm using a belkin wireless modem and router. Any ideas?

Still haven't been able to fix this problem and its really really annoying. Anybody have an idea. Need more info?

what college are you in? tcd and ucd have different proxy configs?

i'm in trinity and the proxy config settings are correct. When I open IE it looks for my username and password but the various trinity databases aren't recognising my ip. Strange thing just happened that I was able to access the websites. I logged out to see if the connection held but when i went back online the same problem occured.

that's very strange. so trinity's server is letting you in but not allowing access. they're obviously adding the "Forwarded For: " header so there's not much you can do about it.

Thanks anyway Red Alert. I might go into Is Services and ask them about it.

I think I know what the problem is now but I don't know how to fix it. In System information-internet explorer-connectivity the proxyoverride is set to local host. Anybody know how to change this?
