How do I configure access through a web proxy server. I tried to launch a meeting, but the meeting never starts. A ‘Mikogo.config’ file got created in the ‘Applications’ folder and I see some blank web proxy settings in there. Thx!

192.168.1.232
8080

It would be nice if this could be set in the Settings GUI instead of having to edit a text file.

a friend downloaded mac beta version… started a meeting. I was able to join meeting and see her screen … but when she switched presenters and i accepted, she could not see my screen and her “m” in the menu disappeared. I am running vista ultimate she is running mac OSX. She was unable to join a meeting that i started – she got a message saying the application quit unexpectedly.
