Proxy Configuration: Netscape 4.x / 6.1x / 7.x

We are transitioning to a new proxy server. Using the new proxy requires no set-up on your part, but anyone who used the old proxy server ** must ** undo the set-up for your browser before using the new one.

Follow the instructions below to undo the old proxy set-up.

Note:  You may find it easier to print out these directions before you begin.

  1. Open Netscape.
  2. Click "Edit" on the main toolbar, and choose "Preferences" from the drop down menu.
  3. The preferences window will open up. On the left half of the window is a listing of categories. At the bottom of the list is "Advanced" with an arrow or a small box containing a "+" (plus mark) inside it. Click the arrow or the "+" beside "Advanced".
  4. Click on "Proxies" from the list that appears.
  5. The right half of the window should now display the proxy configuration options. Delete the proxy address from the box. Choose "Direct Connection to the Internet".

  6. Click the "Okay" button.
  7. That's it. Now you can use the new proxy server.
