Lan Internet

[Cygnuz-Y]

I have a Lan in my house and im using a Hub, i have a Cable internet connection and im using a program called Proxy+ but i cant get Kazaa or messenger in my other Comp, I can use IE in my other Comp. Is there a way to open ports or something so i can use Kazaa, messenger and other progs.
THANX

My router has a built in web interface so that I can manage what ports I want to have open. All ports are closed by default. However, a hub is merely nothing but a device that connects multiple boxes together most of the times by using cat5 cables and ethernet cards. Most hubs dont provide firewall protection unless its affiliated with some type of router along with it. So I really cant see why you would be having a problem. It seems to me that the Proxy + program your using may not be configured correctly. Refer back to the documentation if any.. :)

what os u using? I know xp has built in internet connection sharing that will allow messenger, kazaa and various other things to run happily through it. Also what kind of proxy does Proxy+ set up if its an http proxy try to get software that sets up a socks 5 proxy. U can persuade loads of programs to run thru a socks 5 proxy.

I have XP but i tried a lot of things and nothing seems to help just that Proxy+ cuz its free if you know how pleaz help me...
Thanx

k im the guy that went to that guy Cygnuz and installed him the proxy :D

its an http proxy...not a socks5 or any socks... windows xp.... didnt seem that the xp sharing conn thingy worked well...so we tried proxy+

I got him running ie....which is good :) however i tried messenger with HTTP proxy in the preferences and it didnt work. It shouldave cuz it was configured the same way as IE.

As for Kazaa...its options dont have HTTP proxy, just socks5.... sniff

oh well i got him IE running :)

and as I know...this guy doesnt like Kazaa cuz his machine reboots and he loses all his partial downloads (any advice for this?.... it doesnt happen to me)

oh well....

What about shoes?
Try uninstalling yer proxy, and setting up your machine to use static ip, also open up your machine as the DMZ host. Then if you really want a proxy, go ahead.

I know who posted. And if he wants to post another topic in the topic he started in the first place then fine. But that's an ISSUE that can be SOLVED and if he wants help, he needs to ask in the QUESTIONS forum...

Waht was wrong with the XP ICS (internet sharing) ? Do ur network computers see each other and can send files to each other? If so all u have to do for ICS is set up the computer directly connected to the internet as the gateway and set the other to connect through the gateway. Then nearly everything should work without having to set any proxy options. theres more info on setting up ICS here. (http://www.homenethelp.com/) Also what OS r the other computer(s) on the network running.

[Cygnuz-Y]

My other Comp is running 98 And XP so i can use them both, and about your Q, we can see each others and send files, about the gateway: I dont understand, when they installed the MOdem they gave me a gateway i tried to put the same gateway in my other Comp but didnt work do you know how pleaz note that i have 2 Lan cards One for the Internet connection and another for my LAN
THANX

[Cygnuz-Y]

Dmz host is not a good idea unless the box sitting on the perimeter of your network is a linux box or microsoft windows running isa server or something that does not hold any of your important files and is there as a gateway computer, or something designed for firewall purposes to sit between the net and the other boxes on your lan. Dmz host generally reply to all request including tcp, syn, connect scan, and other port scans, ping sweeps, and get system services request.
