What is a proxy host name on TV?
I think maybe my question needs a little more clarifying.
I am looking for input in what makes a proxy host name on TV. We are setting up a tv (dv2000t, 2.0ghz p3 with 2gb of ram) to run multiple windows xp machines. This will be connected to our primary router on a 10gb switch with a 10gbit nic. At the moment, I have a dynamic dhcp reservation of 192.168.100.0/24 that covers the network (with static routes). I am wondering if this will work with our secondary DHCP server and our clients, or is there something I am missing? When you go to 192.X/24 in windows, can that machine get a DNS response from the secondary dns server (where we are going to put a static dns record for our primary network, and not let it automatically use our secondary dns server)?
Thanks for your help. Since the 192.0/24 is a Class A network, it should work fine. If you put it on a separate subnet in CIDR notation (192.101.0/24 for example), then you'd probably need to route from 192.X on your router (via nat if necessary) to 192.X on your TV or the client's TV. Since the client TVs don't have any Internet access, the network traffic would be looping back to the client, so you'd want to set up an Access List so you could identify which device is talking to which.
What is a valid proxy hostname?
How do I know what hostname a particular ip is mapped to?
Is there any way to find out if I can't connect to a site using my DNS name but using a hostname? Short answer, a hostname is not necessarily a valid proxy hostname. Longer answer, you can try and find out the IP which is associated with the hostname. To do so, type "nslookup" in a terminal and provide it the domain name to which you want to lookup the IP. If you can't reach a domain, you'll be prompted for IP addresses. Once you have provided an IP address which can be connected to, you can type "nslookup" again to see what hosts your new IP is assigned to.
How to set up proxy on smart TV?
I have a Samsung Smart TV and I want to use it as a proxy for my home network.
I want to set up a local webserver (Apache) on my PC that will serve the content of the webpage to the TV over the Internet. I want to have the TV act as a proxy for any web browser that connects to it. This is what I'm trying to accomplish: IP 192.168.10 (private IP for my local network)
Port 8080 (local webserver). Smart TV: IP 192.100 (public IP of the TV) Port 8080 (local webserver). The problem I'm running into is that I can't seem to find a guide that would explain how to set this up. What I've tried so far. 1) Set up the private IP of the TV as the external IP of the PC. This didn't work. When I connect to the PC with a web browser, the connection keeps getting dropped. It seems like the PC's IP is not accepted by the TV.
2) Set up the public IP of the TV as the external IP of the PC. This didn't work either. The TV's external IP is accepted by the PC, but the PC doesn't receive any traffic from the TV.
I would be grateful if someone could help me set this up. Edit: Also, I don't want to use the wireless network of the TV. For example, I want to do this: I connect to the PC using an ethernet cable. The PC connects to the TV using an ethernet cable. The PC serves the content of the webpage to the TV over the Internet. The TV acts as a proxy for any web browser that connects to it. This should be possible. Thanks for reading. Last edited by P.R. On Mon Jun 11, 2026 6:17 am, edited 1 time in total.
