Feedback> Automatic dialing isn working any more. How do I fix it?
Some browsers (such as MSIE-4) can be configured to dial your ISP automatically when you click on a link, but this feature gets disabled if you specify a proxy running on your own computer (with address localhost or 127.0.0.1) because these addresses don’t require dialing. The Internet Junkbuster knows nothing about dialing, so it doesn’t work. To make automatic dialing work, make up a name such as junkbuster.ijb and use that name in the proxy settings instead of localhost, and then add the line 127.0.0.1 junkbuster.ijb to the file c:\windows\hosts (if there already is a line beginning with 127.0.0.1 just add junkbuster.ijb at the end of it.) This should also work Netscape Communicator 4 on machines where IE-4 has been installed.
