i62 HD proxy setting problem

szlevi · 05-12-2013, 03:15 PM

Hello!
I have a problem to which you may have a solution.
I'd like to use my device with proxy, but it doesn't work. As you can see on one of the attached images, when using a browser (Firefox) on a PC everything is all right: my sole task is to fill a line with the address of the proxy. I thought that it would be OK if performing the same in case of the ebook reader. But it won't work for me. The system may not accept web pages as a host. (User name and password are hidden naturally). What is the importance of the port number given? It's a random number at the moment.
Thank you!
Greetings!
Levente

Hey,

It's the first time you're working with proxies, isn't it?
But anyway. Its easy. The link in Firefox isnt the proxy-server itfels, its a file in which the actual serveradresse is given. In your case: 193.224.105.2:8888
You have to enter 193.224.105.2 as "Host", and "8888" as port.Type should be "socks4".

Hello Christine,
Thank you for your answer!
Imagine that the problem was sold an unexpected way. Just unticked the "use proxy" checkbox, and it started to work!
