you cannot configure your computer to use a proxy en masse, at least I dont know of a way. but you can configure each application that accesses the internet to use a proxy, for example:
in windows media player, hit tools >> options >> network >> hilite http >> configure >> dot the "use following proxy server" radio button >> put the proxy address in the proxy box and the port number in the port box*
* 219.32.981.90:80 proxy address before semi colon, port number after
All other apps that access the net will have a similar facility where you can enter a proxy.

just as a point of interest Ad Muncher has a IP scramble feature for web surfing. where it uses a different proxy for each website visitedQuote:

Would this cause me problems with my internet provider? Cannot I keep my IP address and go via another proxy?

I think you're getting a bit mixed up, your ISP sets your IP address, people use proxies to hide their IP address.
When you go to a website, that site sees your IP address, this is unique to you and you are traceable because of it. using a proxy hides this IP address so when you use a proxy, instead of the site seeing your IP address it sees the proxy address.
Using a proxy will not cause any problems with your ISP, think of a proxy as another server which your connection has to travel through before getting to it's destination (the website).

Cheers again and excellently explained, one last question how would I set up a proxy on my internet connection? This probably seems a silly question but why would I set up a proxy for windows media player?
some intranets (private internal networks) use a proxy server for all their public traffic. Usually only inside schools, corporate networks, etc.
So those settings are there in other apps in case you need them.

You might use a proxy in your media player because you may be using it in conjunction with your browser which is using a proxy. e.g say you're a paid up member of some website, you're browsing it in IE with a proxy and you want to see some vids, if you connected through media player with your own IP and not the proxys IP that site would see 2 different IPs connecting at the same time and ban you. sticking the proxy in MP would guard against this.
I don't know what browser you use but this is how you set up a proxy in MyIE2 (also IE6)
Options/tools >> internet options >> connections >> hilite your connection in the window and hit "settings" >> check the "use a proxy for this connection" box >> enter proxy and port in the appropriate boxes >> click OK >> click OK
It's much the same with other browsers too :)
