At school they've decided to force us to use a proxy server (a sucky one because it's more offline than operational). As an Opera user, it's just a matter of pushing F12 to enable or disable the use of a proxy server, but IE users and FF will have to do a litlle bit more.
That's why I've made this little "script" for the other users at school (in fact it's just a .reg file that windows will import).

Set and enable a proxy server (copy the following code into a file with a .reg extention)


Set and disable a proxy server: (same thing, copy to a DIFFERENT file with a .reg extention).


If you save them on your desktop, it's just a matter of double-clicking the file to enable or disable the proxy.

Firefox users can use a small addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1557

While I was trying to make things more easy, I've made a small script that easily maps network drives (eg. by a single click, I can map all the shared folders on my main computer as network drives on my laptop ).

Make a .bat file and copy the following code to it


replace 127.0.0.1 by the name or IP-adress of the external computer and 'z' by the name of the shared folder you'd want to map. 'z:' defines to drive letter.
So, for example:


Will map the shared folder 'media' on 'my_computer' to the drive letter p:


Happy networking .

ya, it doesn't work at my school since it's a hardware proxy. Every connection leads to it. The only way to avoid it is to use a 3128 proxy server.
