Direct connection or PRoxy

I am trying to confugure my program it says "Direct Connection to Internet" or "Proxy server Config"

I am confused i am using ADSL connection and ADSL router is it consider as a proxy

I tried to enter router's ip address 10.0.0.2 but I do not have any port number to go with it. I tried port 80, but this does not work.

My coonection is fine, should i just select "Direct Connection " or "I hv to setup Proxy", it was fine before when i was using Dial Up connection , i used to select "Direct Connection to int"

thanx

I know direct connection is when connected to internet directly, and proxy for networked connection , but let me know in detail

Unless otherwise specified by your ISP, you should choose the Direct connection option.

Yes. You are correct. You are not on a proxy server.

Proxy servers and Proxy setting information are provided by whoever owns the proxy server... usually your employer
