Setting your proxy to work with digitalphono music
 

Note: This page describes setting up a proxy for Microsoft Windows users. Macintosh  users should see Setting Proxies for the Macintosh for the Mac version of this discussion. 

Netscape browser users who use a proxy must manually change the proxy settings in the Internet Windows Control Panel application to match the Netscape proxy  settings before downloads will succeed. (Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers set these values automatically.) Follow the directions below to avoid download problems. 

Bring-up your Netscape-defined proxy Preferences window by menu selection for your version: 
Navigator: Options -> Network Preferences -> Proxies 
or 
Communicator: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Proxies 

Looking at the Netscape proxy window, you see three radio buttons. One of these buttons is checked: Direct connection, Manual proxy, or Automatic proxy. Just follow the instructions below for whichever button your Netscape browser has checked. That's all there is to it! 
 

direct connection 

If your Netscape Preferences window has Direct connection to the Internet selected (purple oval above), then you are not using a proxy. 

Bring-up the Internet Properties window 

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel 

Double-click on the Internet icon 

Click on the Connection tab 

and place it below the Netscape proxy window as we illustrate below. Now look in the yellow-highlighted area of your Internet Properties window to ensure that the check-box labeled Proxy server is NOT CHECKED. 

Now click OK on your Internet Properties window and CANCEL on your Netscape proxy window. Your proxy conflict is resolved, and you should be able to download digitalphono music songs successfully. 

manual proxy 

If your Netscape Preferences window has Manual proxy configuration selected (purple oval above), then click on the VIEW button to the right to view your Netscape proxy. Next bring-up the Internet Properties window: 

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel 

Double-click on the Internet icon 

Click on the Connection tab 

and click on the Proxy Server ADVANCED button to view your Internet Properties proxy. 

Simply copy the HTTP Proxy address and Port value from your Netscape settings window to the Internet Properties settings window as illustrated below. 

Now click OK on your Internet Properties window and CANCEL on your Netscape proxy window. Your proxy conflict is resolved, and you should be able to download digitalphono music songs successfully. 

automatic proxy 

If your Netscape Preferences window has Automatic proxy configuration selected 
(purple oval above), then bring-up the Internet Properties window 

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel 

Double-click on the Internet icon 

Click on the Connection tab 

and click the Internet Settings CONFIGURE button. (See note below if you can't find this button.) 

Now you can then copy the URL Configuration location over as ilustrated below.  Then click REFRESH and OK on your Internet Properties window and CANCEL on your Netscape proxy window. Your proxy conflict is resolved, and you should be able to download digitalphono music songs successfully. 

 
 

Note:  If you are using an Automatic proxy configuration but your Internet Settings 
window does not have a CONFIGURE button then you have two options: 

  • contact your systems administrator and ask for a manual proxy address, or 
  • install Internet Explorer 4.x by surfing to Microsoft's IE download page
