PROXY
A computer that listens to name query broadcasts and responds for those names not on the local subnet. The proxy communicates with a WINS server to resolve names and then caches them for a specific time period.

A proxy server is a computer that offers a computer network service to allow clients to make indirect network connections to other network services. A client connects to the proxy server, then requests a connection, file, or other resource available on a different server. The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the specified server or by serving it from a cache. In some cases, the proxy may alter the client's request or the server's response for various purposes

Proxies are software that act as a middle man in a network. Basically you access your data through them instead straight to the computer. This allows you to bypass security and speed up your connection if you have like dailup
