yes trying to run the proxy server on my home machine to facilitate occasional mobile browsing (cell phone or pda) when not on a regular data plan. it's a "workaround" shall we say. The idea of changing the port makes sense, but when I start the config utility it seems to think that it is active on that port and I should be able to navigate right to it. considering how little I know about this, I'm probably better off forgetting it--which I pretty much have done. but it did seem strange that I couldn't make the connection. thanks for replies.
