XFOR: INS Does Not Support Proxy Server/Remote Winsock (158132)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Commercial Internet System 1.0
This article was previously published under Q158132

SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Internet News Server (INS) is not compatible with Microsoft Proxy Server.

CAUSE

INS runs as a Microsoft Windows NT service, and only allows the use of a local system account. This means Microsoft Proxy Server (and other "smart" proxies that use account names) will not allow connections to pass through it.

If a proxy server does not use account names (also known as a "dumb proxy"), it should work with no problems.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Commercial Internet System INS version 1.0.
