Dr. Hurt Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 My "nice" ISP has modified the network and now I have to connect to the internet via a proxy (or ISA server)... don't even know what any of that it is. On windows they made me use Microsoft firewall client and all works fine and fast. The problem is that now OS X and Ubuntu can't download torrents anymore. I called my ISP and they told me that they don't know anything about OS X!!!! PLEASE ANYONE..... HELP ME..... I CAN'T LIVE WITH TORRENTS..... SOS.....SOS.....SOS....SOS.... Is there an alternative to m$ firewall client to allow me to connect to the proxy server??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Just ask your ISP for the proxy settings like IP and port number. With that you can go into System preferences -> Network and set up the proxy. (quite simple) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 I put the proxy server IP and port (172.16.1.1 port: 8080) and still torrents don't work. The work great in windows but not OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morden Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Have you tried Azureus? It can work through proxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonald Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 sorry for you but there is no ms firewall client for osx, linux. I can't beleive an ISP is using ISA for their firewall!! The worst IDEA ever. Call them up and tell them you have a mac and you can't install msfirewall on OSX, tell them you want to use legal program like skype, ivisit or others like torrent, limewire, EVEN MSN MESSENGER file transfer and VIDEO CHAT !!! Change ISP if you can. ASAP before their only public ip address has been blacklisted and victim of multiple ddos attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
