University, proxy script

[craigman]

I use a proxy script at university to get internet explorer to work. Can I do the same thing with utorrent to make it also work? Strangely live messenger works and I have not configured any proxy settings. Other than explorer and msn, nothing can use the internet, my virus scanner complains that it cannot update etc.

Is there anything I can do to make utorrent work?

This is the proxy script, not sure if it helps:

// Swinburne University Automatic Proxy Configuration - 136.186.1.29

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)

{

// If only hostname specified, local host so go direct

if (isPlainHostName(host))

return "DIRECT";

if (isInNet(host, "127.0.0.1", "255.255.255.255"))

return "DIRECT";

// Connect directly for local Swinburne domains

if (isInNet(dnsResolve(host), "136.186.0.0", "255.255.0.0"))

return "DIRECT";

if (url.substring(0, 5) == "http:" ||

url.substring(0, 6) == "https:" ||

url.substring(0, 4) == "ftp:" ||

url.substring(0, 7) == "gopher:")

return "PROXY 136.186.1.14:8000; DIRECT";

return "DIRECT";

}

Thanks

Just a guess, might be the proxy 136.186.1.14:8000. Try using that, but don't count on torrenting (probably shouldn't even try it, could cause trouble).

I tried that and no joy
