The situation is this. We are using Proxy Server as part of MS Small Business Server to share Internet access. However, accessing some sites is proving to be a problem when trying to login. Typically Banking Sites or Stock Brokerages. We have tried various versions of IE (5.0 & 5.5) and we have tried opening all availble ports on Proxy Server without success. Can I bypass proxy server by shutting down the service and using the NT server as router to my ISP? The access is via 56k dialup. Many Thanks.

This is most likely happening because the web site is seeing that the same IP is already connected. You might want to use some software like win proxy or even try to contact your ISP and see if they have anything that they can do for you on their end.

The problem with bypassing Proxy Server is that only THAT BOX has a valid IP address assigned by the ISP for that session. Your machine, if it could route directly to the net, could only cause confusion, since your machine's IP address is not the one that the ISP's router expects.

You could get around this problem by putting a modem on your machine, and dialing directly to an ISP.

If your machine is not using 128 bit encryption, that may be the problem rather than the IP address.

Good luck.

poster #2 has it right.
I have no problem accessing my brokers site through a proxy server as long as the browser has 128-bit encryption. you can download the encryption from your brokers site.
good luck!
