SECURITY ENHANCEMENTS
=====================
Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 contains many security enhancements
that make opening and downloading pages from the Web safer than
ever before.
USING THE INTERNET CONNECTION WIZARD
====================================
Connecting to the Internet is quick and easy using the Internet
Connection wizard. The Internet Connection wizard helps you set up
your computer to communicate with the Internet, helps you sign up
for an account with an Internet service provider, and sets up the
Internet software you need to use your account. When you've completed
the wizard, you are ready to explore the Internet.
To start the wizard for the first time, double-click The Internet
icon on your desktop. If you need to start the wizard again at a
later time, click the Start menu, point to Programs, point to
Accessories, point to Internet Tools, and then click Get On The
Internet.
NOTE: If you install this version of Internet Explorer and then
install an earlier version of Internet Explorer (for example,
Internet Explorer 2.0), the Internet Connection wizard will
not work.
The wizard connects you to the Microsoft Internet Referral Service.
This service provides you with a list of the service providers
available in your area. To determine which service providers are
available, the wizard sends the following information to the
Internet Referral Service:
Field Description
----- -----------
Country Id The country from which you are
dialing
Area/City Code Your area or city code
Exchange Code(US only) Your local exchange code (the first
three digits of your local phone
number)
Language Id The language of the Windows software
currently installed on your computer
Operating Platform The operating system installed on your
computer
Operating Platform Version The version of your operating system
Processor Arch The processor architecture of your
computer if it runs Windows NT
(for example, x86, Alpha, MIPS,
or PowerPC)
Product Code The software product you are using
to connect to the Internet Referral
Service
Promotional Code The promotional offer (if any) in
which you are participating
Manufacturer Code The manufacturer of your computer,
if the manufacturer includes any
special offers
Signup Version The version of the Internet Connec-
tion wizard your computer is
running
INSTALLING PC CARD (PCMCIA) MODEMS
==================================
If you are using a PC card (PCMCIA) modem for your Dial-up Networking
connection to the Internet and have not yet installed the modem,
you may have to enable Windows 95 PC card socket support before
running the Internet Setup wizard.
To enable PCMCIA socket support:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
2. Double-click the PC Card (PCMCIA) icon to start the PC Card
wizard, and then follow the instructions on your screen.
NOTE: If you can't find the PC Card icon, you may need to install
the PC card (PCMCIA) drivers. To do this, double-click the
Add New Hardware icon, click No, click PCMCIA Support from
the list of hardware items, and then follow the instructions
on your screen.
USING A LOCAL AREA NETWORK PROXY OR FIREWALL
============================================
If you want to gain access to the Internet by using your local area
network (LAN) through a proxy or firewall (typically used to protect
your LAN from being accessed by others on the Internet), follow these
steps:
1. Install the TCP/IP protocol on your computer by carrying out the
following steps. This is the protocol your computer will use to
connect to the Internet.
1. In Control Panel, double-click the Network icon.
2. Click Add, click Protocol, and then click Add.
3. In the Manufacturers area, click Microsoft.
4. In the Network Protocols area, click TCP/IP, and then click OK.
5. In the list of components, click your network adapter, and then
click Properties.
6. Click the Bindings tab, and then select the check box next to
TCP/IP.
NOTE: Currently, the Internet Connection Wizard does not
automatically install the TCP/IP protocol for LAN setups.
2. Run the Internet Connection Wizard.
To run the wizard, click the Start menu, and then click Help.
In the Index, double-click "Internet," and then select "Quick
and easy way to set up an Internet connection."
3. Choose the Manual setup option, and then follow the instructions
on your screen.
4. When you are prompted to specify "How to Connect," click Connect
Using My Local Area Network.
5. When you are prompted to do so, make sure that you select the
Use Proxy Server check box.
6. Type the http server address and the port number for the computer
you want to use as the proxy server in the Proxy Server box. The
following is an example of a proxy server address and port number:
http://myproxy.mycompany.com:80
In the Bypass Proxy On box, type the names of the computers,
domains, and ports on the Internet that, when accessed, will
not go through the proxy server. Separate each item you type
with a comma. If you want to bypass the proxy when accessing
all local computers (computers on your LAN), type "<local>".
If you do not know what to type in the Proxy Server, or Bypass
Proxy On boxes, see your network administrator. For Help on
these items, click the ? in the title bar, and then click the
item.
Using the New Auto-Proxy Feature
--------------------------------
Internet Explorer 3.02 contains a new feature named Auto-Proxy. To
learn how to use this feature, see the Web page at the following
