Preparation before Installation

1) Download the latest version of CC Proxy from our site.
2) Find a computer able to perform stably as a server. The OS can be Win98/ME, WinNT/2000/XP, we recommend Windows 2000.
3) Make sure you have correctly installed network connection equipment and the connection between server and clients works well.
4) To avoid conflict, you need to temporarily stop firewall, anti virus and other proxy software before installation.

How to Install CC Proxy?

You only need to install CC Proxy on the server.

1. Run the latest version installation program on the server.
2. After installation, CC Proxy will initially execute with the default settings. The default settings are enough to realize the basic functions of Internet sharing.

Continue by configuring clients with the aid of "Client Configuration". Your clients will then be able to can access the Internet via CCProxy.

List of default proxy ports

HTTP: 808
FTP(Web): 808
FTP: 2121
Gopher: 808
Secure/SSL/HTTPS/RTSP: 808
SOCKS/MMS: 1080
News(NNTP): 119
SMTP: 25
POP3: 110
Telnet: 23

Why mail proxy failed?

This is because you have installed other applications that relate to the mail service on your server - this creates a conflict on the device. To be more specific:
1) In the case where you installed an anti e-mail virus program, then a port 110(POP3) conflict may occur. You will need to change the port for the anti-virus software. However, not all anti-virus software supports port revision. If you can't change the port, then you will have to stop the anti-virus function. Although CCProxy provides a function to change the POP3 port, we don't suggest you to do so. Norton doesn't cause any problems and CCProxy works well with Norton.
2) In the case where you installed other proxy server software, then a conflict of port 110(POP3) and port 25(SMTP) may occur. This is because some proxy servers simultaneously have a mail proxy function. You will need to stop the mail proxy function of those proxy servers.
3) In the case where there is an installed firewall application, a port conflict might occur. You will need to open the following ports: 25(SMTP), 110(POP3), 53(DNS), 80(HTTP), 8011(Admin) and 5353(MX).
4) In the case where there is an installed mail server application, if it is using the same port as that of proxy server, then a port conflict will occur. Stopping those mail servers will make CCProxy perform normally.
5) If you are sure other applications can assume the mail proxy function (e.g. CMailServer), then go to CCProxy "settings" and uncheck "Mail proxy".

A simple way to check which program is related to a mail service is to run the command "telnet 127.0.0.1 110" or "telnet 127.0.0.1 25" on a command line. It will tell you which program is related to this port.

Why News startup failed?

This is because you have installed the NNTP Service on the server. To cancel the NNTP Service go to: "Control Panel"-> "Add/Delete application"-> "Add/Delete windows component"-> "Internet Information Service (IIS)"-> uncheck "NNTP Service".
Another reason for this is that you have installed another proxy server.

Why DNS startup failed?

This is because you have installed DNS server on the server.
First, you need to confirm whether the DNS server you've installed is actually required.
1) If the answer is yes, you need to disable the DNS proxy in CCProxy: Open the management interface of CCProxy-> "Settings" -> uncheck "DNS".
2) Or you need to stop the DNS server you've installed. Cases such as this happens most frequently in Win2000 because the DNS server is installed automatically. To stop the DNS in Win2000, go to: "Control Panel"-> " Management Tool"-> "Service" -> "DNS Server"-> Change " Startup Type" to " Manual", press button "Stop".

Why startup of other proxy such as HTTP, Socks etc. failed?

This is likely because you installed another proxy server on the server. The solution is to stop using that software.

How to use NT users authentication to verify account?

Open 'CCProxy\CCProxy.ini', change NTUserAuth=0 to NTUserAuth=1, Select Auth Type "User/Password" on Account Manager.

Does CC Proxy support pinging from the DOS command prompt of a client through the Internet

You cannot ping from client directly. You can use ping in the telnet command: (suppose your proxy address is 192.168.0.1

Telent 192.168.0.1
Ping www.youngzsoft.net

If they use only the socks proxy setting in IE connection settings, they don't get any userid/password prompt at all(under user/password authentication)?

You can stop socks4 service. Goto "Options" - "Advanced" - "Misc" - Uncheck "Enable SOCKS4".

When I have CC Proxy running it keeps the line connected 24 hours?

This is because CC Proxy always check the on-line status. You can goto "Options" - "Advanced" - "Misc" - Fill "Web sites for on-line checking" with "127.0.0.1".

How to use CC Proxy port map?

Please goto "Options" dialog box, click a "E" button near the "Port Map" and you will find out how to set port mapping.

How to remove CC Proxy manually?

Step1. Launch CC Proxy -> Options: uncheck "Auto Startup" and "NT Service" -> Close CC Proxy.
Step2. Find the folder including ccproxy.exe, delete ccproxy.exe. If you can find a file named "unins000.exe", you can launch it to do uninstallation.

If you still cannot remove CC Proxy, please search if there is a file named runscr32.exe or hide.exe on your computer. If you find both of them or even one of them. Please delete them. Then you should remove CC Proxy from your computer permenantly. Many unregistered users have reported the same problem recently. All of them reported they actually didn't install CC Proxy at all. So this problem is probably incurred by some other program that is NOT the product from our company.
