you to control how Internet Explorer connects to the Internet. If the computer uses a
dial-up or virtual private network (VPN) connection to connect to the Internet, those
connections are shown in the Dial-up And Virtual Private Network Settings section.
Click Add to start the New Connection Wizard, which you use to configure networking
connections (and which you learn more about in Chapter 10, “Supporting Network
Connectivity”). When you select one of the displayed connections, you can also configure
the following options for that connection:
■ Never Dial A Connection Requires that you manually establish a connection
before opening Internet Explorer.
■ Dial Whenever A Network Connection Is Not Present Causes Internet
Explorer to use the current default connection if it detects that there is no existing
connection to the Internet.
■ Always Dial My Default Connection Causes Internet Explorer to always dial
the current default connection.
To configure the default connection, select a connection from the list and click Set
Default.
You can also use the Connections tab to configure proxy server settings. A proxy server
is a centralized network device that provides Internet access to the client computers on
the network. Proxy servers are used to centralize Internet connection settings, increase
security by controlling which resources a client can access, and speed up Internet
access by caching Web pages to the server. After you configure Internet Explorer to use
a proxy server, Internet Explorer requests Internet content from the proxy server,
which in turn connects to the actual Internet resource on the client’s behalf, retrieves
the information, and forwards it to the client.
To configure Internet Explorer to use a proxy server for dial-up and VPN connections,
select the connection and then click Settings. To configure Internet Explorer to use a
proxy server for local area network (LAN) connections, click LAN Settings.
■ Automatically Detect Settings Allows the client to automatically receive proxy
server configuration from a properly configured Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) or Domain Name System (DNS) server.
■ User Automatic Configuration Script Specifies the path to a configuration
script containing proxy server information.
■ Use A Proxy Server For This Connection Allows you to enter the address of
the proxy server and the port that Internet Explorer should use to connect to the
proxy server.
Bypass Proxy Server For Local Addresses Allows the client to connect directly to an address on the local network (such as an internal company web server) instead of connecting to the proxy server.
