I currently have a T1 for my CyberCafe gamers and a DSL line channeled through
my 2006 ISA server as a proxy for Internet users. We are in a workgroup
environment. All the proxy settings are set on Internet Explorer for all our
PC's. After some testing I realized that anything played through the Flash
addon or player are bypassing our browser's proxy settings and using the T1
which is specified as our gateway thus causing massive lag on our T1 line. You
tube movies and other players don't seem to have this problem, only Flash
Player. In short Flash Player is ignoring our bowser proxy settings in favor of
our gateway / T1. I performed a test and removed the gateway on a test machine
forcing Flash to use our proxy and everything works fine. But if I change it
back, Flash favors the gateway over the Internet Explorer proxy browser
settings. I've been searching everywhere for an answer to this problem with no
luck. Does anyone have any info on this problem? There are no options to
specifly a proxy for the flash player anywhere else. Please Help.

Has anything been changed on Flash player that would cause this problem. If so is there an older version I can get?

I've got no idea where to go with this, other than noting that youtube video is
delivered to the desktop via Flash Player..

I guess I'd tell you what I told a number of the linux bug posters.. File a
public bug, get it some votes and see what happens..
