Proxy server hell
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: Shryke2000
There are a couple of programs that I use frequently and I'm trying to figure out how to get one of the client computers on my LAN set up to use a proxy server to access these services. One for example, is Audiogalaxy. While the host computer can connect just fine, I'm having problems getting the client computer to connect to Audiogalaxy's server (audiogalaxy satellite).
Am I correct in assuming that I need to connect through a proxy? What I need to know is this: how do I find out what settings to use for the client computer so that it can connect to audiogalaxy? I need to know whether to use SOCKS4 or 5, and which hostname to input as well as port number. How would I look these things up for myself? Since proxy setup is at the application layer, it's going to be different for Audiogalaxy than it was for IRC, which I figured out how to do last night. If anyone have any info on how this is done (very specific to audiogalaxy of course) then please let me know.
Thanks.

I would suggest using a sniffer if you know how. Lacking that, then install a firewall product like ShieldsUp! and let it tell you which ports are trying to be used.

There's no way to have windows tell me which servers I should use? Well, should I use something like HTTP port or some kind of tunneling program to allow the client computer to access outside servers through my server machine?
God, why isn't documentation for this sort of thing better than it is?

You can use the command
netstat -a
However, this usually shows you the connections at the time of the command. If the connection doesn't attempt long enough, you can't see it. It's best to use a program designed for this. One would be a sniffer. The other would be Network Monitor.
NetMon comes as part of the NT Resource Kit. It's a smaller version of the NetMon that comes with Microsoft SMS Server. Which may be impossible for you to get.
You must get the SMS version of NetMon in order to monitor Windows 2000. The NT version is not compatible.
