If your setup is like mine, my internal web server tries to go through
the firewall on port 8080, for which there is no proxy.

The solution is to have the internal web server use the firewall:80 as
a web proxy for everything, rather than using Gauntlet's transparency.

greetings,


we occasionally get the following errors from our netscape v 3.0 browser:

"The requested item could not be loaded by the proxy.

A ntework error occurred: unable to connect ot server (TCP Error:32) The server
may be down or unreachable.  Try connecting again later.

Proxy server at hostname.xxx.com on port 8080."

hostname.xxx.com is our webserver which is inside the firewall.  in the fireall
messages i get a security alert on unserved port 8080.  i am running gauntlet
3.1 on a sparc20
SunOS 4.1.4 and have http configed by the boot.  i have http pointing to port
80, which is the  default. we actually are proxying http through the internal
web machine.  i have no idea what is  going on here.  any help on this one would
be apprieciated.

thanks,


von prahl
