IE fails to browse

Hi folks,

WinXP
IE6


IE6 can't browse Internet after installing "Proxy Changer ".


IE Proxy Changer - settings

Current Proxy Server
127.0.0.1:8080

Default Proxy Server [address : port]
127.0.0.1:8080

Alternate Proxy Server [address : port]
192.168.1.1:4126


Re-start IE. On address bar type;
http://www.yahoo.com
google.com
etc.

Code:

The page cannot be displayed

A warning popup

Code:

Internet Exploer could not open this search page

Please advise where shall I check? TIA


Edit:

found following trick

Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings
disable;
Use a proxy server for your LAN (These setting s will not be applied to dial-up or VPN connections)


Then IE works again on Internet browsing.


But how to hide the IP address?

Hi satimis. Where do you want to hide the IP ?

 

Hi WinCrazy,

On Internet browsing.

I get "SwitchProxy" installed on Firefox. It works perfectly hiding the IP on Internet surfing. But I can't get it installed on IE6. It needs IE7. Where can I download a free anonymous proxy for IE6? TIA

Hi PeteC,


Do I need to uninstall IE6 first. Or just install IE7 to overwrite IE6. Thanks

Hi folks,

Actually I can do it on IE6 as follow;


Tools -> Internet Options -> Connection -> Settings

[check] Use a proxy server for this connection (These setting will not apply to other connections)

-> Advanced

Code:

	Proxy address to use	port
HTTP	127.0.0.1		80
Secure	127.0.0.1		80
FTP	127.0.0.1		80
Gopher	127.0.0.1		80
Socks	24.8.100.35		3128

(Remark:-
24.8.100.35 : 3128
is socks 4 proxy address)

Then OK


restart IE.
visit:

http://proxyblind.org

My IP address is still displayed there NOT 24.8.100.35


I can't understand.
