Specifying the type of LAN (Local Area Network) connection

Use the Proxy Server screen to specify whether your LAN uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet. A proxy server is a computer on your LAN that connects to the Internet without compromising the security of your internal network. If you are not sure how your LAN connects to the Internet, contact your system administrator. Do one of the following:

• If your LAN uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet, click Yes, and then click Next. If you choose this option, you need to provide the wizard with the following information:
  • Names and ports of the proxy servers your LAN uses to connect to the Internet.
  • Internet addresses you want to connect to without using a proxy server. For example, you might not want to use the proxy server to contact other computers on your LAN.
• If your LAN does not use a proxy server and is directly connected to the Internet, click No, and then click Next.
