I'm not exactly sure what Get Right is.. but with any winsock application trying to download thru MS Proxy 2.0, you'll need to install the Winsock proxy client on the windows 95 pc.. by default, the software is located on the proxy.. \\proxyserver\msproxy. Run setup.exe and let it configure your client.. Once the client is installed and rebooted, go to the proxy server, and look into the Winsock Server permissions. Make sure you have appropriate permissions to use whatever port "Get Right" uses. The easiest way to tell which port it will use, is to give yourself "unlimited" access, use Get Right, and then check the proxy logs. That will tell you which port it uses. Then you can go back to the proxy server, and create a protocol that lets you use that particular port.

Hope this helps.

Here is the fix from GETRIGHT

GetRight and Microsoft Proxy...
MS Proxy Server has 2 authentication modes, Basic and Challenge response.
GetRight uses the "Basic" authentication mode. BUT, in order for Basic authentication to work, you need togive the users "log on locally" rights to the Proxy server machine. For Challenge response, you do not need this right.
Giving the internet users group that right should make GetRight (and many other programs that do just do Basic proxy logins) work properly with Microsoft Proxy.

MS Proxy version 2 uses the authorization settings from what you have set in IIS. So you cannot set the proxy server to have different authorization requirements to your web site.
