Hi, for some reason I have a problem connecting one of my PC's for Internet connection sharing....So what I tried was to specify an IP address of an online server (for Proxy server), the thing is, as far as I know the server IP address I specified is not a Proxy server but infact a very popular Search engine.

As soon as I specified this new IP address I was able to connect to the Internet via my LAN and by the looks of it, the search engine server?

Is this possible? Is there a way to find out if the server IP address I specified is routing me? I can access the rest of the web with these settings so I don't have a problem, but would like to know if this possible.

I know there are proxy servers that allow you to connect and then information about surfing will only be traced back to the proxy server so could this be happening?
