The proxy is a local HTTP (web) server internal to a regional/main data center, which caches (stores) frequently requested content. It was originally implemented in order to greatly reduce unnecessary network traffic, particularly backbone traffic leading to the @Home Network in the US. When you want to access a website via your proxy, you send a request to your proxy, which then checks to see if any of the related content is stored locally.

Opera allows you to specify a different proxy server to be used for each protocol. Each one can be configured or disabled independently, and any URL you wish to access directly whilst a proxy is enabled can be added to an Exceptions list. Connections to Gopher and WAIS services can only be made via a proxy server. See similar questions...

The solution here is to chain the proxies together. SpamBayes (sb_server) doesn't really care where in the chain it is, although some of the other proxies (often anti-virus software like Norton Anti-Virus or AVG) sometimes do. The easiest solution is to leave your other proxy set up exactly as it was before SpamBayes. Then look in your email client to see what port it is using (it'll probably be connecting to "localhost" or "127.0.0. See similar questions...

You certainly can. This is one of the most notable advantages of Rogers cablemodem service over other broadband competitors' offerings. Many others require you to install client software, without which, you are unable to achieve connectivity. Some of these proprietary pieces of software are highly problematic and even pose compatibility issues under particular operating systems. See similar questions...

The short answer, no. The long answer? Although the two companies are now very much the same from an ownership standpoint, their handset choices and plans remain very much separate. Rogers has never offer the required HipTop data plan, and a standard GPRS data plan (or Blackberry, Treo, etc plan) will not work in it’s place. Basically, you need a Fido account to use a Fido Hiptop - no exceptions. No - the Hiptop is the only device that can use the Hiptop data plan. See similar questions...

Most electronic resources are licensed by The Library from companies in business for profit. The terms of the contracts with these companies stipulate that The Library allow only UC faculty, students and staff to use these materials. Consequently, when you are off campus you will not be able to access many of the online journals and databases that you could access while on campus, unless you use the Library proxy server or Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Yes, we added an access control file in Version 2.0. But before you use it please consider why you want to do it. If the reason is security, it probably means you need a firewall. The listen-address option provides a way of binding the proxy to a single IP address/port. The right way to do this is to choose a port inside your firewall, and deny access to it to those outside the firewall. The Internet Junkbuster is not a firewall proxy; it should not be expected to solve security problems. See similar questions...

No. Spycop Spyware Detection Software finds computer monitoring spy software that can be installed by users with or without Internet access to your system. Anonymizing services will cloak your system from the Internet, but since most computer monitoring Spyware is local, it will still spy on you. We recommend the use of an anonymizing proxy in addition to Spycop Spyware Detection Software for increased privacy and security. See similar questions...

Essentially, when you bid, you aren't telling eBay how much of a bid to place. You are actually informing ebay as to the maximum amount you are willing to spend on this auction. The actual bid placed by eBay's bidding system is either the minimum amount for the auction (if you are the first bidder) or one bid increment above the previous high bidder. In the event someone else bids, eBay will increase your bid up to your maximum to keep you one bid increment above the other bidders. See similar questions...

You may need to be a sendspace Max™ user if you share an IP or are connected through a proxy (Test your connection). A proxy server, or a shared IP, allows many computers on a network to share a single IP connection to the Internet. It is commonly used at places of employment, universities and some Internet Service Providers. See similar questions...

If your ISP uses its own proxy server, you can still use SpoonProxy. What you need to do is map your ISP's proxy port (usually port 8080) IN and OUT to the IP address of your ISP's proxy and then use port 8080 as you normally would as the port for your HTTP connections in your browser. Be aware that you can't run both the HTTP proxy and a port mapping on port 8080. See similar questions...

Normally when you request a page your request goes directly to the site serving the page, even if this is overseas. Multiple requests for the same page increase network traffic and slow things down. If you configure your browser to use a proxy, your request goes to the proxy. If the page is stored in the proxy's disk space (cache) then it can be sent right back to you - without needing to go overseas. See similar questions...
