How To Use Windows Xp With Another Server

Introduction

Your IP, or Internet Protocol, address sends information from your computer to the Internet. When you surf the Internet, you expose your information. You may have wondered why certain sites know where you are. This is because your IP address is traceable. Most of the websites that you visit are safe and there is no need for worry.

Step 1

. Usually, companies track your IP address for advertisement purposes. A windows xp with proxy server is another computer that you can use to mask or hide your real IP address from the Internet. It works as a gateway between your computer and the Internet. Using a windows xp with proxy server will protect your IP address so it is not traceable.

Step 2

FTP stands for "File Transfer Protocol," and it allows files to move between computers via the Internet. The FTP protocol is similar to HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol), because both use the Internet to transmit data.

Step 3

FTP, however, concerns files, such as a Microsoft Word or Excel document, whereas HTTP renders a webpage in a browser. Both personal and business Microsoft windows xp with FTP users benefit from FTP, because it establishes a "virtual" hard drive. This is convenient and efficient while working with multiple computer and file users.

Step 4

Microsoft released the windows xp with operating system in 2001. Windows xp with another server is capable of using proxy servers for all of its Internet related connections. A windows xp with proxy server acts as a midpoint between a client and a server. With windows xp with a proxy server configured, the XP client makes a request to the proxy. The proxy then makes the request to the server on behalf of the XP client, and sends the XP client back the results. This way the XP client remains hidden to the server. You can configure Windows xp with a proxy server for all Internet traffic.

Step 5

Windows xp with a proxy sets timeout variable for your proxy server connections. This means that if a proxy server has become unresponsive for long enough, Windows will attempt to directly connect to the site. You can increase your proxy timeout settings using the px_timeout variable in your system's registry.
