Use the Connection feature if some of the servers you access with AvantGo Connect should use the proxy settings and others should not. For example, suppose you subscribe to AvantGo.com and you also access another server. You might need to access AvantGo.com through the proxy server but still access your local server directly. In this case, you must enter the proxy settings manually so that you can specify which servers should bypass the proxy settings.
Use Edit if you have never set up this computer to access the Internet.
To manually configure the AvantGo Connect connection set up:
1. Choose Apple menu|Control Panels|AvantGo Connect to start the AvantGo Connect application.
2. Click the ConnectionÖ button.
3. Enter information in the HTTP Address and Port fields if your proxy server uses the HTTP protocol.
When you enter information in the Port field, the Use HTTP authentication field is enabled.
4. Check the Use HTTP authentication box to enable user name and password protection.
5. If you enable Use HTTP authentication, enter your user name and password for the server you entered in the Address field.
7. Enter information in the SOCKS Address and Port fields if your proxy uses the SOCKS protocol.
These settings should be supplied by your system administrator.
8. Enter the address of a secure server and its port in the Secure and Port fields to connect to a secure server.
9. Enter exceptions to the HTTP and SOCKS settings in the Exceptions field.
These are the hostnames of servers that AvantGo Connect should access without going through the proxy server.
For example, if you use AvantGo Connect to access both AvantGo.com and your companyís server, you might need to use a proxy server for AvantGo.com but access your companyís server directly. In this case, enter the hostname of your companyís server in this screen.
9. Click OK to save your proxy settings.
The final screen summarizes the proxy settings you have chosen.
