autohijack problem - 06/02/2003 15:05

I tried autohijack but I get this error:
Error: Unable to read Hijack page "http://empeg-hijack.sourceforge.net". Exiting

Do I have to add my proxy in the script or so?

Definitely not a problem with the site.

As you surmised, it's likely related to the proxy server. If the autohijack software doesn't support proxy servers, then it doesn't have any way to connect to the web if you're behind a proxy.

That's one nice thing about the Microsoft Winsock Proxy Client software. It's a shim in the TCP/IP driver that re-routes calls through the proxy server, even if the client program doesn't support proxies. It's got its other drawbacks, but that's one nice feature it has.

pfff, still no go without proxy.
Think I'll keep doing the updates manually
