Guidescope: Netscape 3 Setup With Proxy

Netscape 3 Setup With Proxy

Connect Netscape to our software and our software to your proxy:

Print out these instructions! After you start following them you won't be able to scroll this window down to see the rest of these instructions.
Make sure our software is installed and running. On Windows, our Icon appears in the Windows Tray.
Start Netscape 3 and make sure that you are connected to the Internet and can browse.
Select "Options" and "Network Preferences..." from Netscape's top menu, as shown on the right. The "Preferences" form will pop up, as shown below.
Click on the tab labeled "Proxies".
Make sure that "Manual proxy configuration" is already checked. If it isn't, then these aren't the right instructions for you. Cancel the form and click here to choose the correct instructions.
Click on "View" to open the "Manual Proxy Configuration" form, shown on the right.
There should already be an entry for the HTTP address and port, as shown in the example on the right. (Your address and port will probably be different from what is shown. Your address might be a name instead of numbers.) If there are no entries next to HTTP, then these aren't the right instructions for you. Cancel the forms and click here to choose the correct instructions. Otherwise, continue with these instructions.
Write your address and port down! You will need them to complete Step 13.
Enter HTTP Address "127.0.0.1" and Port "8000" as shown on the right. Note that the address has three "dots" in it! Do not change any other entries on the form; only change the entries for HTTP.
Click "OK" to complete the Manual Proxy Configuration form.
Click "OK" to complete the Preferences form.
In the "Location" bar at the top of your browser, enter "http://set.proxy/address:port" using the address and port values you wrote down in Step 9, as shown in the example below. (As soon as you start to type there, "Location" will change to "Go to".) Use your address and port values, not those shown in the example below. Be sure to hit the "Enter" key on your keyboard to complete the entry.

Your browser will show the confirmation message:
```
          Your proxy chaining settings are:
          * address:port . .
```
where "address" and "port" are the values you entered.
Setup is complete. Your browser is now configured to use the Guidescope service.
