granpa Posted February 10, 2007 CID Share Posted February 10, 2007 Private, I really don't know about proxy except what I see on the wall at my Dr's office. Try going to this site and do a little reading, I think you'll find a answer here http://www.dslreports.com/faq/satellite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtnfolk Posted February 11, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 11, 2007 Thanks for the reply, the reason it does not browse is that for some reason XP does not let me change the old proxy settings from DW4000 install. Now I either have to use Internet Explorer or reinstall windows. For some reason XP does not except me as Administrator, even that I am the only one using this pc. The shop that built my PC and installed XP some how screwed up and he does not know what he did wrong. Question can I reload XP and not lose all my programs. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted February 11, 2007 CID Share Posted February 11, 2007 Have you tried using Maxthon browser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albagen Posted February 11, 2007 CID Share Posted February 11, 2007 Private, I am at DW 4000 and Moxilla is working ok. Proxy is 127.0.0.1, port 83. If I remove proxy and port it works again but slower. About HNS7000 I don't think there could be a problem (unless proxy settings are to be specified in the modem and not in the computer) except that you must have full control of your computer, so that you can make the necessary changes. If I got it right, you want to use Moxilla with HNS7000, right? But it doesn't work with the proxy? What if you try without the proxy? It should work, but slower. And then you have to find a workaround to have full privileges as computer administrator to be able to change settings. About the last issue, you should just know the password for the Administrator account, log in with that account, and see what you can do there to put proxy in Moxilla. You should also scan for any spyware/malware/viruses, might just be the case. Hope you resolve this. Anyway, if not, contact those who set your computer up and installed the programs.

Mtnfolk Posted February 11, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 11, 2007 Have you tried using Maxthon browser? [/quote No never heard of it. Is it as fast as Firefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted February 11, 2007 CID Share Posted February 11, 2007 Maxthon is fast as or faster than Firefox. It also has tabs. Here is the link to it. Download the stable version not the Beta. http://www.maxthon.com/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
