Configuring your browsers to work through Transparent Proxy
For your browsers to use Transparent Proxy from a specific client computer, that machine must have a Gateway assigned to the network card. The Gateway address must be the WinProxy internal IP address if the client machine is set to "obtain automatically," then it will get the correct information from the WinProxy DHCP server automatically.
Follow directions for specific browser versions.
