Hi all

I have read all this thread, and being a non technophobe iam at a complete loss.

I have been running WWT for a long time, up until I downloaded the latest update last week. Now I have this Proxy issue.

I am running XP Home on a direct line from my servers modem, no proxy.

Can anyone help please, otherwise I shall have to forget a very good program that I have enjoyed viewing

Many Thanks

Paul

You only need to install Promoxitron on one machine (yours?). Every student machine you only need to point to this one proxy machine...

I've just got around to trying the latest fix and it doesn't work for me. The proxymatron fix (or rather, workaround) did work, but that's not something I could apply across an entire school. I would dearly love to use this in class.

If you have it checked you must have a valid proxy address and port informed, otherwise leave unchecked. If wwt gives you no message, then let's suppose it's working. Just use it, if you get images from astronomic objects then it's working otherwise no and for some reason failed to give you an error message.

Weird

Then no proxy set. Just to be sure. Is the checkbox "Use a proxy server..." checked?
