I want to login the arena using "proxy setting".
By mkagenius, 14 years ago, In English
(I know I should have asked this in topcoder forums , but I thought , its possible that someone can help me out here as well  =) )
I want to login in the arena using proxy settings:
for example ::
ip: 172.xxx.xxx.xxx
port : 9401 ( now this must be 9401)
username: xyz
pass::zyx

I heard that topcoder applet/jws uses 5001 as a port (or 80 also).
1.Can I use 9401 as a port?

But when I am using the above settings. It does not connect.
It says ==> (the connection to the server cannot be established..)
I have also tried the 4 tunnels.
2.So, what can be done?

3.Also, Is there any way that I  can tell the applet/jws to "use the proxy settings in the browser" ?

Thanks in advance =)

Yes, because in this case 'port' is a port of your proxy server, not TopCoder's.
If your proxy supports SOCKS (or smth), Arena will connect to port 5001. If you select 'HTTP Tunnel A/B", it'll use HTTP protocol (like any browser does) and 80-th port.
