I'm trying to make a VB6 web browser that will run through a different proxy than the computer's IE uses. I'm using the Microsoft Internet Exploder control. Is there any way to do this? The reason I want to do this is the computers at my school block sites that I use for resources for projects. The school's computer have everything disabled, including cmd line and changing internet options or opening files saved to desktop. The only way I can think to do it is through CGI, but they have a majority of the ones that actually work blocked. So I decided to make my own.

If there is no way to do this through Microsoft Internet Explorer controls, what can I use?

In IE, go through that menu list I gave.

Sounds like the net admin's got it tied down so tight, even a poltician wouldn't be able to sleaze its way through. Just did a google search and the first link was a tutorial.

Apparently you didnt listen to what I said. They have the internet options blocked. You cant go into it. You cant go into the C: drive either. They do have the tshit locked down tight like a mother fucker. Any site you could possibly want to go to is blocked, including most CGI proxies and all versions of google's image search.

Mind posting the link to the link you found in google? Ive already made the browser, but I need to make it run through a proxy independent of Internet Exploder's normal one.

Access the drive by typing "C:" into IE. Worked back in high school for me.

Access to C: drive is blocked.

I'm not a programmer, of course, but I seem to recall that using the MSIE controls in your own browser will just pull the proxy/LAN config settings right from IE.

It does. I'm asking if there is a way to make it run through a different one.

OR, if not, someone could teach me how to do so using winsock.
