A. There are most likely two causes for this problem. 1. The browser is set to proxy mode, but some proxy entries other than the SOCKS are filled out IPs; or 2. If the client is a Windows 3.xx operating system, the client PC’s machine name is not defined in the TCP/IP Host file. The solutions are as follows: 1. In Netscape Navigator, set the ‘SOCKS Host’ to the IP of the Server PC and set ‘port’ to 1080. Remember to leave all other proxy entries in blank; or 2. If indeed you are using Windows 3.xx, search for the Host definition or Host file associated with your TCP/IP package and enter your client PC host name (machine name) and this client PC’s IP address. For example, if you are using NetManage TCP/IP for Windows, you should be able to enter these information in the Service tab within Custom icon; if you are using Trumpet, you have to search for the Host file and use an editor to add this line of information (please follow the line format shown in the file).
