[sclug] IPCop as a proxy server

[Tom Dawes-Gamble]

Hi,

I just enabled the proxy on my system.  I may have things set a bit
differently.  

I have dns set up so that I can use hostnames rather than ip addresses.

So I clicked Enabled and Transparent and Save  Then services show the
proxy as running.

I then set up my galeon browser to use ipcop.tmdg.co.uk that  resolves
to my gateway address port 800 and I can surf the web still.  

Just to make sure your proxy is running you can telnet to 10.10.10.1 800
and you should connect.  Hit return a couple of times you should get
some HTML back that is the error page.

Tom.
