This option ("Always dail my default connection" at the Internet Explorer) shouldn't be adjusted in the Browser. The assistant should be operated only with manual dial (setting: "Never dial a connection").

You use Internet software inclusive of a browser of the provider for dial-in. It is possible, that this doesn't support any additional proxy. In this case try it with a browser of another manufacturer or use another provider.

Should you find a description missing in the documentation, please visit this HTML page with the WebAssistant (browsing mode online/always or use the reload function). The FAQ page will then be updated and you may already find a description here. Otherwise please contact us.

The HTML Validator checks an HTML page for basic structural faults. If these exist, the page cannot receive marks dynamically

Burning cache archives on CD

The HTML pages and other resources are saved virtually with their URL in the cache archives. When transferring to another medium the folder and file names must remain unchanged.

Long path and file names and arbitrary characters isn't possible to use according to ISO 9660 or Joliet. You can however switch this restriction off in most CD burning programs. At the best, you can however use the file format UDF which is supported by many burning programs in the meantime. There aren't these restrictions in this format.

As installation is utmost transparent, the WebAssistant will not leave any remnants on your system.

WebAssistant

1. If you wish to keep your existing individual settings, first save the both directories: config/ and report/
   Note: The folder also includes your license!
2. Delete the folder: MM3-WebAssistantProfessional
3. Load WebAssistant from: www.Proxy-Offline-Browser.com
4. Decompress WebAssistant into the re-created folder and carry out steps under Installation.
5. If necessary after the installation copy the both folders to the same place again.
6. The WebAssistant can be started now.

WebAssistant communicates with the internet instead of the Browsers now. You must correspondingly adapt the filter rules in the firewall. You reach this in an easy way in which you operate the firewall in the learn mode. Then start the WebAssistant and surf in the internet. The firewall then should suggest the corresponding rules.

These rules are approximately:

Program: java or javaw
Protocol: TCP
Direction: outgoing
Local Port: any
Remote IP: any
Remote Port: any

For some firewalls the server socket port 8080 and 8888 (only for edition professional) has in addition to be opened.

Browser Safari, Mircrosoft Internet Explorer
These browsers use a OS X specific implementation for the connection of a proxy. An offline use is then only possible, if the Mac is connected to a network (LAN, Hub, Switch, Router, DSL-Modem, Cable-Modem). Please, inform Tools, if you know a remedy for this limitation.

Other browsers (e.q. Mozilla Firefox) use an own implementation without this limitation.
