Currently I have a proxies Internet Connection at Windows 7. The windows machine internet connection is done thru IE proxy connection settings. (policies constrained)
I would like to share this connection to my phone over WiFi and I installed Connectify/Internet Connection Sharing. The phone connected to the Windows machine but couldn't get any Internet connection.
Is there any other way?
Note: Internet is going thru Ethernet cable. Phone connected to Windows machine over WiFi of the Windows machine.
TQ

If WiFi is managed by some custom software, you must use that. For the plain Windows7 you can do:
Now you could be able to connect to the SomeName you created from your phone with the password you chose. Note: my laptop has Lenovo utilities and works different. Feel free to downvote my answer. Another approach:
In "Network and Sharing Center" under "Connect or disconnect" you should see at least two connections e.g. "Local Area Connection" (with cable icon) and "Wireless Network Connection".
The phone should see your WiFi and be able to establish WiFi connection, but WEB pages might not show. For that, you will have to enter the same proxy settings in the phone's browser as in Windows' IE.
