Julie has brought her laptop to the office and wants to check her e-mail. Her system is running Windows 2000 Professional with Internet Explorer 6.0. She has a properly configured network card and, in fact, uses her network card to connect to the Internet through her DSL modem at home.
Although she plugged her laptop network cable into the office network, she is unable to connect to the Internet. She was told that she has to configure her browser to use a proxy server.
Which procedure will properly configure the proxy server?
1. Open the Control Panel | Phone and Modem Options. Select a modem to configure.
2. Right click My Computer and select Properties. Use the Device Manager.
3. >>Open the Control Panel | Internet Options applet. Select Connections, then LAN settings.
4. Open the Control Panel | Network and DialUp Connections.
Explanation : In the Internet Options applet in Control Panel, you can configure the computer to use a proxy server by choosing the Connections tab and clicking the LAN settings button. Enter the address for the proxy server and script file if necessary.
The Device Manager can be used to adjust hardware resources but not proxy servers.
The Phone and Modem Options applet allows you to configure dialing properties and modem parameters. You cannot configure a proxy server from there.
The Network and DialUp Connections applet is used to configure a DialUp Networking connection to another system such as an Internet service provider (ISP). You cannot configure a proxy server from there.
Objective: Networks
