Proxy server problems on NT
options on this.
I have a DEC Alpha that runs our Heidelberg
RIP software for our 4 color
Heidelberg press. We have a partial T1 that is
hooked up to the network
that is routed through our firewall (SonicWall
system). TCP/IP is manually
set for the DEC Alpha, which is running
Windows NT Server, service pack 5
and I can tracert and ping with a DOS
interface, so I know the connection
to the T1 works from the DEC Alpha.
The desired result:
To install the defrag software "Diskeeper
Server 6.0" to get a defrag utility
on this NT system as it currently has none.
The problem:
The install wants to have IE 4.x or better upon
installation (components of
IE are used by Diskeeper).
IE is not loaded on the NT box. The install
attempts to launch an installer
to load IE and fails.
I downloaded the only installer
that supports the DEC Alpha, IE 5 (Windows
NT 4.0 Alpha). (I tried all the
other versions higher than this, to no avail.)
Placed the installer on the
NT box, then ran the installer.
Upon installation, it throws an error when it is
looking for available sites
to download from:
"Setup was unable to download information
about available
installation sites.
Setup may not have been able to use your
current proxy server settings.
Click advanced if you know your proxy
settings."
Upon clicking the "Advanced" it wants:
connect using a proxy server
Address:
Port:Is this asking for the address of the firewall?
address of the router?
If so, what number do I plug in for the port?
I have access to all the configuration settings
and numbers, WAN, LAN, etc.
What am I supposed to plug in as the address
and port when it asks for
a "proxy server"?
OR
do you have another way to get IE on the NT
box so I can install the
defrag software?
