I think we should all be careful with our postings and especially when one
is angry.
Anyway, regarding the above subject, and with Elow Wole's theory of a Proxy
Server, this is what I can say about it.
In other to install a Proxy Server, the following Hardware and Software
requirements must be intact:
1. Windows NT server 4.0
2.Microsoft Internet Information Server(IIS) 3.0
3.Windows NT server 4.0 Service Pack 3 (which includes IIS 3.0) or later.
4.Microsoft TCP/IP
The above is just the "Software" requirements. We can spend hours talking
about it.
Above all, you would use a Proxy Server for an INTRANET or EXTRANET to link
to the Worldwide Web for security. It acts as a "secure gateway" between
your LAN( Local Area Network) and the Internet.
Yes, tracing an IP address is simple if you know what to look for and where.
We have a lot to offer to our beloved Gambia rather than Name-callings.
Let's learn to listen and work together and stop this on-going crucification
of one another. We're all brothers and sisters regardless.
We can make a difference with our expertise. Let's make good use of it.
I love you all hardworking fellows out there. We will make it there one day.
Peace.
EB.
