thanks in advance.

You can't switch to a different transparent proxy - the whole point of them is that they function as if they weren't there, so you don't have to muck about setting them up on your PC. As it happens, an NTL proxy that you might choose at random from Robin's help pages - say, for example, one of the Luton ones, will operate for you as a specified proxy if you put one of them in your settings, but for someone living in Luton, with no proxy specified, that same machine will act as their transparent proxy server. To complicate things, a proxy that is b0rked as a transparent can still work perectly well if specified, and vice versa.
As for what to do about online gaming - well, these are web cache proxies we're talking about. I'm not sure what impact, if any, they have on you connecting to game servers. I would suspect none at all, in which case your problem lies somewhere else. However, I am way out of my depth here. We have some PC gamers on the forum, maybe one of them can suggest something.
