Figuring out my socks firewall and web proxy

[ann smith]

I'm setting up a Mac computer on a windows 2000 network. My windows 2000
server uses ISA server. The mac OS (X) network interface gives me an option
for socks firewall and Web Proxy settings. My question is how do I figure
out what those settings are from the ISA server? Any help is appreciated.

There is no "Socks Service" with ISA. The "Socks" ability is simply buried
into the other services.

For the Web Browsers, just use the Web Proxy Service by using "proxy
settings" in the browser. There is nothing "different" to do on ISA with
this being a Mac.

For things that aren't provided by the Web Proxy Service you must use the
SecureNAT Service. The Mac does this by either using ISA as it's Default
Gateway, or by letting the LAN's layer3 routing scheme accomplish the same
thing,...there are no "proxy settings". There again, is nothing "different"
to do on ISA with this being a Mac.
