fixing singtel internet browsing problem

I'm getting more questions from friends in msn about having problems with their web browsing experience while surfing using singnet broadband. Here is a temporary solution to solve the problem with the use of singnet proxy. There's some tiny disadvantages but that's the best solution now.

For those who knows their networking, here's the proxy address
proxy.singnet.com.sg
port 8080

For those who doesn't know how to setup proxy, here's a guide for you

For Internet Explorer Users




tick "Use a proxy server for your LAN(These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections)".
Then enter
proxy.singnet.com.sg
in the address field. As for the port, enter 8080



After click advanced, and tick "use the same proxy server for all protocols."
Click ok until you return back to your browser, and you are done!
(Remember to clear your browser cache if you still experience problem)

For Firefox browser


Go tools -> options, and you will come to the screen above. Follow the highlighted buttons to complete proxy setup.
