Proxy_Preferences

Proxy Preferences
A proxy is a server that acts as an intermediary between a company's protected LAN (local area network) and the Internet. The proxy server ensures that all data transmission between the Internet and a user on the LAN is authorized. RealPlayer can be configured to work with proxy servers by setting the Internet Preferences. (Since these settings are network specific there are no meaningful defaults. Consult your network administrator for the appropriate settings.)

For more information about proxies and firewalls, read: http://service.real.com/firewall

Field	Description
Proxy Options: Use PNA Proxy Use RTSP Proxy	Click to select either or both of these proxies if RealPlayer should use them to connect to the Server. For each applicable proxy enter the appropriate domain name or IP address of the server and port that RealPlayer should use to communicate with the proxy server. Note: If you are behind a firewall and do not know the host name or port number of your proxy server, ask your firewall administrator. For information on proxy servers and RealPlayer, read: http://service.real.com/firewall
HTTP Options Use my web browser's HTTP proxy No HTTP proxy Manually configure HTTP proxy	If you have previously set your web browser to use a proxy, this setting will read those existing settings and use them for RealPlayer. Do not use an HTTP proxy. Enter the domain name or IP address of the HTTP proxy server and port number that RealPlayer should use to communicate with the proxy server. Check your Web browser's proxy configuration.
Exceptions Do Not Use Proxy for: [Host1, Host2]	If you have specified that RealPlayer should be connected to the Server using a proxy, you can specify certain local hosts (domain names or IP Addresses) with which you do not need to communicate using the proxy server. Enter these hosts in this field. This field is only available if you have enabled the Use Proxy option. Your system administrator can provide you with this information, if appropriate.
