Re: MS symbol server (WAS: RE: W2K SCSI Miniport Driv er)

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I also don’t remember problems with firewall (i.e.
packet filter) when we had it but company changed and proxy is different
beast. It needs to support used protocol and client have to login to proxy
before use. Has anybody an experience with it or know if windbg supports
proxies?

i am using ms symbol server through our (http)proxy without problems. You
have to do two things to make it work:
a) Use internet explorer and set up its proxy options so you are
able to access the internet (http proxy).
b) either define the environment variable _NT_SYMBOL_PATH= or set up
symbol path in the debugger as follows:
_NT_SYMBOL_PATH=symsrv*symsrv.dll**http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
where is a directory to cache symbol information
locally (e.g. \server\share)

Greetings,

Holger
