SUMMARY

Microsoft Internet Explorer has the capability to use a proxy service (or gateway) to communicate with the Internet over your local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN). With the following settings, you can configure Internet Explorer to use a proxy for FTP, Gopher, or WWW.

MORE INFORMATION

Locate and open the Iexplore.ini file with a text editor. Look for the following section: 

   [Services]
   Proxy_Server =http://myprox:80/
   No_Proxy =<local>
   NNTP_Server =
   HTTP_Proxy_Server=http://myprox:80/
   Gopher_Proxy_Server=http://myprox:80/
   FTP_Proxy_Server=http://myprox:80/
Make the appropriate changes to the proxy that you want to modify. See your LAN administrator for specific information on the proxies used on your network.

NOTE: These settings will be overwritten with the default values if you click Set Proxy Server on the Internet Explorer Tools menu.
