WinUAE internet access on PC with Proxy?

[AmigaHeretic]

I've been using WinUAE for many years and on many different machines.

Recently, I set it up on a machine that accesses the internet through a proxy.  Basically the proxy address is typed into IE's internet option settings.

On the Amiga side I cannot access the internet.  I tried putting in the same proxy information directly into Amiga applications (such as IBrowse) but still no access.

Anyone know if WinUAE will work with such a setup, and if so how to get internet access to the Amiga side?

Thanks,

Yes, the Amiga side is working and WinUAE is setup correctly. (I don't see a proxy setting option in WinUAE)

The PC can access the internet using Firefox, IE, etc...

Only difference on this machine is that it connects through a proxy.  Something like 168.x.x.x Port 8080  

Amiga connections just time out.

Is there any other place I should have to enter the proxy for the TCP/IP stack other than in Windows Internet Options? I did go to the the Advanced sextion and make sure the proxy was checked to be used on all protocols.

I don't think there really is a "TCP/IP" stack on the Amiga side. I believe it is emulated by WinUAE, so I'm not sure where you'd enter a proxy in to an Amiga Side TCP/IP stack, since there isn't one.

I have tried entering the proxy in to Apps on the Amiga side with no luck.

Thanks for the help...

Ok, I just did a little test.

I took a machine that doesn't use a prxoy and where WinUAE can access the internet fine.

I entered a fake proxy into Windows Internet Options.

Doing that made it so I could no longer access the internet using IE, etc.

When I ran WinUAE though I could access the internet just fine from there.

Obviously the proxy option in Windows has no effect what-so-ever on WinUAE.  So how to make bsdsocket.library emulation go through a proxy is the question I think....
