Just look up in your Internet Connection settings (Control Panel ->
Network Connections) which type of proxy is configured.

If nothing is configured there, and your "Default Gateway" functions as
your proxy, just scan it with a proxy-checker (there is a free portable
one called Charon). It will tell you the type of proxy, the ports used,
and a bunch of other information about the proxy.

Proxifier works fine with all my other programs, so I'm sure it's not
the cause of Xana's crushes. I played a lot with its settings trying to
figure out what each one does and stuff like that. Maybe it's not as
buggy if you just let it be and don't mess with it...
