slug Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi there,When I am at home, I connect directly through the internet, however, when I am at school, I need to configure the applications I need (eg Firefox and MSN) to work with the school proxy, allowing me access to the internet. Is there a quick way round this so I don't have to type the proxy settings into Firefox and MSN everytime I go to school - i.e. is there a tool within windows that will change this for me, or a 3rd party application?Also, if there is a method for this, is it specific to XP, or is there a way to do this in Vista as well?ThanksStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I have a similar need; certain things I need to proceed through the proxy server, others not. What I do is use Internet Explorer (set for proxy settings) for one task, and Firefox (not set for proxy) for the other.On the other hand I am sure there is a quick way of changing the settings with some script; I just don't know how.
