SOLUTIONS

There are couple of ways to find out what proxy server you're using. Here's how to find out the proxy server address using Command Prompt.

  • Hit Win ORB (Start button)
  • Type CMD
  • Click Enter
  • In the command prompt window type the following:

    reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" | find /i "proxyserver"

    Or you can use the tools like Ethereal or Wireshark to sniff for the [gs network] traffic and this way found out the address of the proxy [gs server], although this could be a problem if you don't have appropriate permissions to install third party software.
