Looking up the definition of a "proxy" it seems to be a machine that sits between my terminal and the Internet. Very well. My terminal runs RH8.0, and I have an XP machine which is on the same LAN. The XP machine dials the ISP to access the Internet, and once it has a connection then I can also access it from the Linux machine. It would seem, then, that by definition the XP machine is a proxy. But Mozilla edit-->preferences-->advanced-->proxies does not show anything that indicates that. It seems to indicate that the Linux machine has a direct connection to the internet. So do I have a proxy?? If so, how do I find out what the "port" for it is? Thanks, John -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
