Step 1 Network and System Requirements
WinProxy System: Processor/Memory: Operating System: Disk Space: Network Interface Card: Internet Connection: Internet Service: Client PCs: Networks Supported: Internet Connection Types: IBM PC/compatible computer 90MHz Pentium PC, 64MB RAM Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/Me/NT/XP 4 MB for WinProxy application, 5 MB for anti-virus program,10 MB for caching, 40 MB for site filtering Any Windows 95/98/2000/Me/NT/XP -compatible Network Interface Card or equivalent device Dial-Up Adapter or Second Network Interface Card One user account through an Internet service provider Any PC, Mac or UNIX/Linux-based system with TCP/IP installed Any LAN, including Windows 95/98/2000/Me/NT/XP built-in networking Any TCP/IP connection, including modem, cable modem, xDSL, ISDN, T1-T3, E1-E3, frame relay, wireless, satellite

Step 2 What You Will Need Before You Begin

A PC running a Windows operating system (any of the following 95/98/2000/NT/Me/XP) this will be your WinProxy host computer Two network cards or one network card and a USB connection to the Internet On the WinProxy host computer make sure all cabling is properly plugged in You must have a working local area network with TCP/IP installed on all computers Verify that you have a working Internet connection on the WinProxy host machine before you install WinProxy For more information about installing a local area network, see the diagram on the inside cover of this guide, the LAN Guide contained on the CD-ROM or consult the Technical Support section of the Ositis web site at http://www.ositis.com/support/

Step 3 Configuring Your WinProxy Host Computer

Installation of WinProxy is only needed on one computer and will be referred to as the WinProxy host computer. The WinProxy host computer does not need to be dedicated solely to running WinProxy. All other computers wishing to use WinProxy's services must be connected to the network and have the TCP/IP protocol installed. Configuring Configuring Configuring Configuring Configuring Configuring Windows Windows Windows Windows Windows Windows XP on the WinProxy host computer go to page 8 Me on the WinProxy host computer go to page 9 2000 on the WinProxy host computer go to page 10 NT on the WinProxy host computer go to page 11 98 on the WinProxy host computer go to page 12 95 on the WinProxy host computer go to page 13

Step 4 Configuring Your Client Computers

These are the other computers on your local network. They will access the Internet through the WinProxy host computer. Do not install WinProxy onto any other machine but your WinProxy host computer. Client computers can be PCs or Macs and may be running under a Windows, UNIX or Linux operating system. At the end of the Install Wizard a Client Configuration document will appear on the screen explaining how to adjust your client computer(s) to access the Internet through WinProxy. Links to the instructions are also provided below and should be performed on each Client computer. Configuring Configuring Configuring Configuring Configuring Configuring Windows Windows Windows Windows Windows Windows XP on WinProxy client computers go to page 8 Me on WinProxy client computers go to page 9 2000 on WinProxy client computers go to page 10 NT on WinProxy client computers go to page 11 98 on WinProxy client computers go to page 12 95 on WinProxy client computers go to page 13

Step 5 Checking Communication, How to PING

PING is a utility to determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It works by sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply. PING is used primarily to troubleshoot Internet connections. You will need to ping within your network in order to check the communication between the WinProxy host computer and your client computers to ensure WinProxy will work. From the client machine, in Windows, click on the Start button and then on run. In this box, type command and click OK. A DOS/Command Prompt will open. At the prompt type ping, hit the space bar and then type the IP address of the internal nic of the WinProxy host computer (this is the number you entered into the WinProxy host computer under Specify an IP address) and hit enter. If you get "request timed out," (see example 2 on the next page) this means that you do not have a working TCP/IP network, this is a networking issue and NOT a WinProxy issue. Refer to the networking diagram on the inside cover of this book and make sure your computers are configured properly. If you get "replies," this is good. Replies mean that you have a working network (see example 1 on the nest page). (The addresses used are for example purpose only. Please use the internal IP on YOUR WinProxy host computer).

Host

Client

IP Address: Subnet Mask: Gateway: DNS:

90.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 (Blank) (Disabled)*

IP Address: Subnet Mask: Gateway: DNS:

90.0.0.2 255.255.255.0 90.0.0.1 90.0.0.1

*(NT, 2000 and XP, there is no "disabled" option for DNS - Leave DNS blank)

Example 1

Example 2

If you have problems with "pinging," refer to page 32 of the electronic version of the WinProxy manual stored on the WinProxy CD or you can download a copy at: http://download.ositis.com/downloads/WinProxy_UserManual_en.pdf You will need Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to read this electronic manual.
