I really dunno where this question should goto but anyway it'd be a great help if anyone can solve this...I access the internet at uni and under IE->connection--->LAN setting, it uses an automatic configuration scripts at this address...
http://www.ics.mq.edu.au/proxy.ins also the automatic detect settings box is also checked
anyway, when i download that proxy.ins file, it links to http://www.ics.mq.edu.au/proxy.pac and so that i guess thats why IE works, however, if i try to use any other program like MIRC or getright etc etc, they won't connect, so how can i make them work??
proxy.pac
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (! shExpMatch(myIpAddress(), "137.111."))
{
/ For non-MQ hosts /
return "DIRECT";
}
else if (shExpMatch(myIpAddress(), "137.111.235.") ||
shExpMatch(myIpAddress(), "137.111.239.") ||
shExpMatch(myIpAddress(), "137.111.234.") ||
shExpMatch(myIpAddress(), "137.111.232.") ||
shExpMatch(myIpAddress(), "137.111.21."))
{
/ For undergrad firewalled labs /
if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".comp.mq.edu.au") ||
dnsDomainIs(host, ".ics.mq.edu.au"))
return "DIRECT";
else
return "PROXY www-proxy.ics.mq.edu.au:3128; " +
"PROXY www-cache.ics.mq.edu.au:3128";
}
else
{
/ For ICS staff and non-ICS MQ hosts /
if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".mq.edu.au"))
return "DIRECT";
else
return "PROXY www-proxy.ics.mq.edu.au:3128; " +
