I can't set up a proxy on my new Earthlink cable

[veronica]

Earthlink support will not help. I have windows XP. I tried the usual, Clicking

on LAN. Clicking proxy. Typing an IP address in for a proxy and port #. What

should I do? Thank you.

A few ISP's have blocked proxying. I know that AOL does this and I due believe Earthlink does as well. They do this because of their parental controls feature.

I was on AOL about 2 weeks ago. My

proxy worked there. I asked Earthlink. They told me NAV 2001 conflicts with

proxies. I do not have NAV. Then they said that is part of thier network

service which I did not buy. They quit trying to help me. Thank you for

replying. Bump for more info. Thanks.
