I am in Kenya. I want to access BBC 5 Sports Extra which is blocked to people living outside U.K. Can I do it using a Free Proxy, located on this site? If so, how exactly do I go about it? I need basic instructions.

Generally speaking you need a UK proxy. Using it you can access BBC web site as if you were in UK.

Thanks for replying. I have found some UK Proxies, but am not sure how to setup my computer to use them. For example I found this UK proxy: GB3DC #1 82.153.152.12 8100 18:23 Ready 1.2.3 www.gb3dc.co.uk [No -R -L Connections Please]

To set up I found these instructions on a support site and applied them.
Proxy Settings in Internet Explorer 6.X
1. Click "Service" \ "Internet Options";
2. Click "Connections";
3. If you use Dial-Up connection, choose your connection and click "Settings" button.
if you use LAN connection, click "LAN Settings" button in the "Local Area Network (LAN) Settings" group box;
4. Enable "use a proxy server";
5. In fields "Address" and "port", type proxy name and proxy port number;
6. If necessary, enable "bypass proxy server for local addresses";
7. Click "OK";
8. Click "OK" to close IE settings.

However this seemed to make no difference. I note that the Proxy address is entered. But what about the IP number?
