Internet Explorer
5.0 (Macintosh)
This section describes how to configure, enable, and disable the proxy server information for Internet Explorer. It is best to configure the Web browser to go through the proxy server using the instructions below and then disable the settings until the next time you use Temple's wireless network or a public-access laptop Internet port, or the next time you access Temple's library databases. Otherwise, your Internet connection may be slowed down.
 Configuring the
proxy information
1. Click on the Edit menu and select Preferences.
2. In the left hand portion of the Internet Explorer Preferences
window, click on the triangle next to Network so it is pointing
downward. Then click on Proxies.
3. Under Use Proxy Servers, click on the box next to Web Proxy to place a check mark.
4. Click on the Settings button.

and type: 8080

box and

window.

Proxy for all.
