Hey if you have knowledge about proxy and PORT? please explain me!??? I am clueless about computer's stuff :(

Question

Sorry, I know, I asked this kind of question yesterday. But I didn't get the answer.

So, here's the deal. (Please keep reading)

"Internet Explorer 6.0
1. On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and then click LAN Settings.
2. Under Proxy server, click to select the Use a proxy server for your LAN check box.
3. In the Address box, type the IP address of the proxy server.
4. In the Port box, type the port number that is used by the proxy server for client connections (by default, 8080).
5. You can click to select the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box if you do not want the proxy server computer to be used when you connect to a computer on the local network (this may speed up performance).
6. Click OK to close the LAN Settings dialog box.
7. Click OK again to close the Internet Options dialog box."


I followed the steps all above the list here. I got confused at the step #5. What is a PORT? Where/how do I get a PORT? I'm sorry, but I just don't know what they are. I tries to figure out but still lost. Please explain me? :( I need to know what's PORT is so I can filled and follow all the 7 steps.

Answer 1

hii..



i'll try toanswer.



Port is a line where computer can communicate each other. (input-output).

every port have different use. for example. port 8080 is used by proxy server to communicate with other computer.



meanwhile other port is used to communicate with ISP.



port ussualy assigned by computer administrator.



in step #5. if you click to bypass proxy server. then you can communicate with other computer in your LAN without using proxy server.

Proxy server is used to control network traffic from LAN to WLAN or internet

Answer 2

if you dont have a proxy server none if this will do anything at all. first off a port is like a connection. The port 8080 is HTTP for example.

i dont know what you are trying to do but if you are a home user none of this needs to be filled out.



note**



setting up a proxy with no networking experience is not so easy. if u manage to do it you should be proud.
