Any hints? Hmmm. Curioser and curioser. When I received this reply I tried to reach a "local" web server and... it didn't work! I have my socks server set to *not* forward local-to-local requests, and Netscape *was* trying to reach the local server through my socks host. Now, it just so happens that at the time I did this test, I was dialed out to a remote network (I run WinNT 4.0 Svc Pak 1 while working-- unfortunately this is the platform I develop on). But then, if I shut down the dial-up connection, then the "No proxy for: 192.168.2." works just fine. I don't know how this relates to your setup, but this is clearly a bug. -- Jens B.

It looks like the 'No Proxy For' field does not accept widcards. So saying No Proxy for *.foo.com would still take you to bar.foo.com through your configured proxy (in your case, the SOCKS 4 host). One solution I can think of is using the 'Automatic Proxy Config' feature.

Jens, Thanks, for the help, but I have tried both this (with and without the third dot) and putting the full four byte dotted IP address for the server in the field, and it connects but still goes through the SOCKS host. Does this actually work for you? (One way to find out is to use a CGI script which prints out $REMOTE_HOST.) If so, what version of netscape are you using? I have also tried the symbolic address both for the local net and for the server, and all of the above followed by :80 (the port number), all to no avail. Any hints?

Netscape uses SOCKS host for local servers
How do I get Netscape to not use a SOCKS host for machines in my local domain? I am running "Mozilla/3.01Gold (X11; I; Linux 2.0.27 i586)" on my Debian 1.2 box, which is on a network behind a (SOCKS 4) firewall. After I set "Options/Network Preferences/Proxies" to "Manual Proxy Configuration" and filled in the "SOCKS Host" field it had no problems getting through to the outside world. However, it goes through the SOCKS host even to contact local http servers. (This is a problem because the SOCKS host is in a different building to which I am connected with only 10Kbps pipe.) I set the "No Proxy for" field to the local domain name but this had no effect. "Mozilla/3.0Gold (WinNT; 1)", similarly set up to use the SOCKS host, connects to local http servers directly, even without an entry in the "No Proxy for" field.
