Running
Java with a proxy or firewall
If
you use a proxy or firewall, or if you get the message:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect, you
may need to run Java programs with special command line
arguments. For example, for QuakeExplorer use a command of the
form:
[JAVA_PATH]java -cp CLASS_DIR/QuakeExplorer.jar
-DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=ipAddressOrHostname -DproxyPort=portNumber net.alomax.quakeexplorer.QuakeExplorer
where
ipAddressOrHostname
is the ip address
or hostname of your proxy
server (i.e. proxy.domain.net).
and portNumber
is the numerical port
number
(i.e. 8080).
Your system
manager should be able to supply you with these values. (You may also
be able to find them in the preferences for your web browser. i.e.
Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Proxies in Netscape 7;
Tools->InternetOptions->Connections->Settings in Internet
Explorer 6)
