What is my proxy server?

I have just done an upgrade installation of win xp. afterwards, I have to activate and to do that online it asks for my proxy server and port #. I think I can find the port #, but what do I put for the proxy server. is it aol.com or bellsouth.net...?

Reply:If your on a private network, you need to ask your network admin, IT guys sometimes route there whole network through a proxy before it reaches the internet, for security reasons, and they also put a proxy between you and the network, so its like this





you computer%26gt;%26gt;proxy%26gt;%26gt;network%26gt;%26gt;proxy%26gt;%26gt;interne... the proxy between you and the network is for speed(contains a cache), but alot of networks don't have a proxy before they connect to the internet(computer%26gt;%26gt;proxy%26gt;%26gt;network%26gt;%26gt;inter...


you need the address of the proxy between you and your network.
