Switched Authoxy to use port 8081 (1 daemon 127.0.0.1 on 8081) Switched my proxy settings to 8081 Left my bypass addresses the same (10.2.0.* and *.mbbc.edu) Still painfully slow (4-5 minutes to load www.mozilla.org)
I pulled the bypass settings out of the network control panel and out of Mozilla Everything still worked slow, couldn't access our local intranet Added Intranet address to bypass settings, now Intranet came right up quickly Removed the hard-coded DNS server (10.2.0.1) from the Network Prefs Everything still worked but still very slow So overview of current status: --> Authoxy on port 8081, pointing to our 10.2.0.2 proxy on port 8080 --> All network proxies pointing to 127.0.0.1 port 8081 --> *.mbbc.edu proxy bypassed (all web addresses *.mbbc.edu come right up quickly, so this is correct) --> Either no DNS server set, or set to assigned DNS server 10.2.0.1, no difference --> NTLM Authentication is on, set to my domain (mbbc) and my computer name (sstratpbook)--I'm checking with our system admin to be sure that's correct Note: In Authoxy control panel, the number of daemons running increases with each web access, but doesn't seem to decrease back to 1 after the web page finishes loading. Don't know if that's normal. Any ideas? Thanks for your help--this tool has great potential for me to provide a higher level of compatibility with our MS network, so I'm not willing to give up yet! --Steve On 9/3/04 9:08 PM, "bruce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hmmm... > Let me try to assess your network... > > Everything looks in order except for the bypass.
