How do I install Proxy Server 2.0?

Before you install Proxy Server 2.0 make sure your system meets the following pre-requisites

The machine in Windows NT Server 4.0

The server has at least 2 NIC's (Network Interface Card's). You may have one network card connected to your network and the second adapter could be a modem or ISDN port. The server can have only one nic, but it will then function as an 'optional'
proxy, in that clients don't have to go through it to gain access, but will use it as a caching proxy server.

You are logged in as an Administrator account

TCP/IP is installed and configured

At least Service Pack 3 is installed

Internet Information Server 3.0 is installed and configured.

You have an NTFS partition if you are going to use Proxy caching

Once your system meets the criteria above you can start the installation:

Insert the Proxy Server 2.0 installation CD

Start the Proxy Server 2.0 setup program (setup.exe from the MSPROXY directory)

Click Continue to the first dialog box

Write down the displayed Product ID and click OK

To change the installation directory click the "Change Folder" button and move to the directory you wish to install to, e.g.
e:\msp, click OK. To start the installation click the large button

Select the installation options you require, all are selected by default. Click Continue

The next dialog box is the caching dialog box. Check the "Enable Caching" box and select a partition and the size (only NTFS
partitions are selectable). Click Set and click OK

The next step is to configure the LAT (Local Address Table). This is used to specify which addresses are on your local network as well as which ones should not be used on the Internet. Enter an address range and click Add, e.g. 200.200.200.1 to
200.200.200.255. When you have entered all the addresses click "Construct Table". Accept the defaults and click OK. Click OK on the LAT dialog.

Now we have to configure the Client installation part of Proxy server. By default the current machine will be selected as the Computer name. You can also configure an automatic configuration script by checking the "Configure Web browsers to use
Automatic Configuration". Click OK

Finally you need to choose if you will use Access Control on the Winsock Proxy service and the Web Proxy service. By default both are enabled. Click OK

The Proxy server files will then be copied to the machine.

Click OK the the Packet Filtering dialog.

Click OK to the Proxy server installation complete box.
