 Hi,
  I have a strange problem with Netscapes proxy server 1.0 (Windows NT).
  I am using the Raptor EagleNT firewall. I configured the firewall host  to use the outside HTTP Netscape proxy. Now I cannot connect to some  sites anymore and have no idea why. 95 % of the sites work fine but 5%  fail.   On of these sites is www.winzip.com. Removing the http proxy  configuration from the firewall host enables us to connect again.   Using a Netscape browser on a host outside the firewall, also  configured to use the same HTTP proxy also works fine.
  I had to kill the proxy server.
  Has anyone experienced something like this?
