I've been using proxies for some time and had no problems until this past few days.

I enter a proxy in Netscape (4.7)and then check and it does not show my real IP.

I use the same proxy in IE (5.5) and my real address shows.

I have Java turned off in both and HTTP *.* turned off in IE.

It's not just a cache address showing - I used more than one checker.

Unfortunately I have to use IE for some connections but wat to remain anonymous.

What am I missing? (use proxy *is* ticked g)
Any help would be appreciated.
