Operating system requirements
Windows 95 (we recommend OSR2 version), Windows 98/ME or Windows NT/2000, the TCP/IP protocol support installed. We recommend to use FAT32 on systems Windows 95/98/ME which uses the capacity of large hard drives more effectively than former FAT16 taken from MS-DOS.
Proxy+ doesn't need the newer version of Winsock.DLL and it also doesn't need the installation of system corrections - it works in standard installation of operating system with TCP/IP protocol support.
Hardware requirements
There are no special requirements on hardware. The size of used operating memory depends on actual size of disk cache, on the character of data stored there and on the number of users - its size is usually few hundreds of kB. For basic approximation you can count with 100 bytes of RAM for each object in disk cache.
The installation requires approx. 1MB on the destination drive. Sufficient space is needed for users post boxes, log files and space for disk cache on the destination drive (you can place it on another drive as well).
The PC with Proxy+ is usually provided with one or more net adapters for LAN connection and there is one modem to connect to the ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Administrator's interface has this address:
http://x.x.x.x:port, where http:// informs the WWW browser to use HTTP protocol, x.x.x.x is the IP address or the domain name of the PC with Proxy+ and the port is the number of the port, where the server expects the requests. The default value the Proxy+ uses is 4400. You can change this value.
Examples:
1) IP address of the PC with Proxy+ is 192.168.1.1 port interface is standard (4400)
URL:
http://192.168.1.1:4400
2) IP address of the PC with Proxy+ is 192.168.1.1 port interface is changed to (1234)
URL:
http://192.168.1.1:1234
3) If you start the WWW browser on the PC running Proxy+ you can use both consequent entries
URL:
http://127.0.0.1:4400
URL:
http://localhost:4400
Address 127.0.0.1 or the name localhost exists on each PC with installed TCP/IP support. If you use it as a destination address during TCP/IP communication, it is always a connection ending in the PC where the command was executed (so called loopback).
