How to detect the real proxy address out of a proxy.pac address?

[Carl Meadows]

In IntExplorer a proxy setting file is entered with an address like
http://proxy:8080/config.pac

How do I find out the real proxy address ?

When I use netstat -a as often suggested I get a list of dozends of entries.
Which of them is the proxy address?

Your proxy address may be in your registry. See the "Option 2" section here

Or, if you could get a copy of that .pac file and open it in Notepad, then
this article will tell you how to determine it:

How many connections are using port 8080?
