"Proxyservers"? What are they?
Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2003 12:15 pm
Hi everyone! How we all doing?
Anyway, there's this chatting site I've been spending some time on. Lately I haven't been able to access it, says something about "dns error" or "browser probs"... I know the site isn't down as there are plenty of friends that can access it. Although there are many others that can't, just as me. One of these friends that couldn't access the site had been told to "enable proxyserver" or whatever....said it was real simple and after that it worked fine for her. So my question would be "what is a proxyserver" and how do I "enable" it...?
PS! I'm not very good at comps...so a rather extensive description would be appreciated....
Other (may be) useful info:
I run Win98, IE6, and have a dial-up connection.
The site in question is http://www.chatting.com
Thanks for any help...
