Hey guys!
Ok, so here's the deal:
As most of you may know, I own a forum. But for some stupid reason related to my crappy router, when I access the website from the same network on which the server is, I get redirected to the router configuration, not the server and forum.

So, I use a proxy. Tor. It's great, but for it to work, I have to change the LAN settings to use the proxy on 127.0.0.1 at port xyz .

The thing is, I only need this for a shirt amount if time, and going into IE's configuration is annoying. So I want to batch file to change the settings in a click

Any help would be appreciated. I use IE9

Thanks

I'm not familiar with command-line scripts for Internet use, Sorry FC.

Meh... I'l just use the plugin for Tor (Torbutton) in FF then. That'll be much simpler... Ah, if only they could start dev on plugins in FF4

I had to install FF3.6 to use the plugin

I know that if your ISP provides a router/modem and you want to put a wireless modem in the middle that you have to change the default IP address used on one of the routers. Maybe you could just change your IP address in your router.

Uh.. That has nothing to do with what I need...

I use a software called Tor which is basicly a proxy. It redirects all connections to a proxy server somewhere else.
Let's say I need to go to a website that isn't alowed in a certain country (BBC iPlayer for example). I can connect to the server in England so that all connections made to that website are done through an English connection, making the website think I'm in england, and letting me watch clips on iPlayer.

The problem is, proxys are way slower than regular internet because the requests ave to be sent through a first server before going to the last one. So I wanted to make a batch file that would enable me to enable using Proxy servers in IE when I need one, and then disable them and switch to regular internet in a click.

They made a plugin for FF3.6 that does just that, but only for FF. And I use IE9

Wouldn't the logical choice be to just have a copy of FF 3.6 on hand as well, including the addon that allows you to easily switch from a standard connection to a proxy connection with the click of a button, so that you can launch FF whenever you wish to view BBC iPlayer?

That's what I have at the moment. I use IE9 for general browsing. FF4 for heavier websites and downloading, and FF3.6 for debugging my websites (FireBug is awesome) and for using the proxy.

Her's a link that I found that may enable you to create the specific batch files that you would like to use on IE9 ... Switch Network Settings With Batch Files

Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. Those scripts change the settings of the computer, not IE. Anyway, I'll set this thread a solved It's not a really big bother.
