Proxy settings

[chathura86]

is there a way i could set that any application which use the
internet to use a specific proxy settings.

because i have an application which reads web pages
it works fine but it does not have a place to configure the proxy settings
(like in IE/FireFox) so is there any way that i can set proxy
settings for the whole computer so any application connects
to internet will go through the proxy

Regards.

You can configure Microsoft Internet Explorer to use a proxy server to connect to the Internet. A proxy server acts as a security barrier between your internal network and the Internet, keeping others on the Internet from being able to obtain access to information that is located on your internal network. This article describes how to configure Internet Explorer to use a proxy server over a Local Area Network (LAN) connection and lists the proxies that Internet Explorer supports.
To configure Internet Explorer to use a proxy over a LAN connection, use the procedure in the appropriate section.
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.
