Satellite Forum FAQ» 8. Self-Hosted Systems (DW4020/DW6000)
Q: What browser proxy settings should I use with the DW6000? (#8522)
A: Unlike the computer hosted systems like the DW4000, the DW6000 always uses the DirecWay "Turbo
Page" proxy to enhance browsing performance, regardless of your browser proxy settings. However by
enabling the proxy in your browser, you will gain the use of the DW6000's DNS caching capability that you
would otherwise be missing. This capability can significantly improve the speed of browsing to sites you
have visited previously. For this reason, we strongly recommend pointing your browser to the DW6000
proxy.
Notes:
1. In all cases, the only protocol that should use the proxy is HTTP. Pointing any other protocols to the
proxy will disable those protocols.
2. DirecWay 6000 Pro users: The instructions below assume that the address you are using for the
DW6000 is 192.168.0.1. This will work under the majority of circumstances unless you are using the "Pro"
version of the DW6000 and the DW6000 is behind a router. Your router may not pass local addresses
through the WAN port, in which case that address will not work. If that is the case, use the DirecWay IP of
the DW6000. This IP address will be one less than the unique, static IP assigned to your network, and is
the same address that your router is using for its default gateway. For example, if the static IP assigned to
your network is 69.35.40.50, then the IP address for your DW6000 is 69.35.40.49. Use that address as the
proxy address and in the proxy exceptions list, instead of 192.168.0.1.
For Internet Explorer:
In Internet Explorer, click on Tools => Internet Options => Connections => LAN Settings. See image
below.
Click the LAN Settings button to open the LAN Settings screen. In the lower section, check the check box that
says "use a proxy server for your LAN", and fill the check box for "bypass proxy server for local
addresses". See image below.
