Fetch Through MS Proxy 2.0 (3 posts)

  Hey Gang,
  I have an NT 4 Domain with MS proxy 2.0 wide open for all ports. PC users can FTP out but a few fetch users cannot.
  I setup FTP Proxy options OK and account info. It seems Fetch cannot pass passwords through MS proxy 2.0 when looking at the transcript window. I also tried Fetch 4.0 Beta 7 and Different proxy types to connect to no avail.
  Please help!
  John.

  There are a few things you should do to make Fetch 4.0 work with MS Proxy 2.0. First, to fix a bug in MS Proxy you need to install NT 4 Service Pack 5 and Proxy Server 2 Service Pack 1. See

  http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q238/3/75.ASP

  for more information.

  Second, you should configure the Firewall section of Fetch Preferences as follows:

  Proxy Type: SOCKS 4.3 (or MS Proxy 2.0)

  Proxy host: [hostname of the server running MS Proxy 2.0] port: [ ]

  Proxy user id: [ ]

  Proxy password: [ ]

  Dont use proxy or SOCKS for: [ ]

  You probably should try both settings of the "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" option. Let me know if this configuration does not work.
