Getting Started with Timbuktu Pro for Macintosh

| 44

Setting Proxy Server Preferences

Timbuktu Pro allows connections over an HTTP proxy server. Depending on the
configuration of your firewall, you may need to use a proxy server when you’re
making Timbuktu Pro connections to computers outside your local network. Your
network administrator can tell you if you need to use this feature and help you
configure your Timbuktu Pro preferences.

Specify a proxy server on the Proxy Server tab in the Preferences dialog box.

Setting the TCP Contact Port

The TCP Contact Port tab in the Preferences dialog box allows you to specify the
TCP port used for Timbuktu Pro traffic. This allows you to use more than one Tim-
buktu Pro host computer behind a NAT router, by directing traffic intended for a
specific computer to a unique port on that computer.
