Hi,
a couple of questions - thanks for any help anyone better in lan stuff than me can offer…
Ok - so what if you’re running a server on your PC as local host that
isn’t accessible to the outside world
is part of IE6 trusted zone
a Zone Alarm Pro trusted zone
When I set up my proxy server in IE6, it asks if I want to use it for local addresses.
So, what implications are there if I do or do not use the proxy server for my local addresses given my above set-up?
P.S. I used the proxy settings and it worked inconsistently. When I terminated Web Shield, browsing was back to normal.
(winxp pro sp2; IE6; FireFox1.0; ZA 5.5.062.011; avast 4.6.603; MSOutlook 2K; OExpress6; 3Mx640KADSL)
I’m a web designer. So, I run an Apache server with perl, php, mysql, ftp, mail on my windows system for testing pages and apps locally. But it is all local (the server) with no global access - no direct connection in or out form my PC. It is accessed via my localhost or http://127.0.0.1/ addressing.
I was setting up the proxy server in IE6 based on Vlk’s suggestion on the sticky posted here, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=11486.0 which addresses the incompatibility issues of Zone Alarm and the WebShield product of Avast 4.6.603. The proxy settings are a work around to use the webshield and Zone Alarm.
Did you remove these settings from the browser when you uninstalled avast?
Naturally, these are not valid when WebShield is not running (not to mention avast uninstalled).
I haven’t uninstalled avast… Please explain. The proxy settings were set to the brwoser to be compatible w/ WebShield and thus it was running…?
