Blair,
You run "ipconfig /all" or "net view" from a command window (Start - Run ' "cmd"
or "command").
Why are you using a proxy server? If the proxy server is external to your LAN
("www.freeserve.net"), you have to have internet access to get to it, so you
have no problem with internet access either - just proxy server access.
<http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0%2C%2Csid14_gci212840%2C00.html>
If you're trying to use a proxy server for Outlook Express, that could be your
problem there too - proxy servers are application specific, and a proxy server
for HTTP:80 will not necessarily work for POP:109/110.
So first, remove all proxy references. Configure all applications for direct
internet access, so each computer simply uses its Default Gateway for
everything. Then see what works and doesn't work, and let us know.
