Configuring proxy server settings
If you are having trouble accessing the Internet from behind a firewall, you may need to configure a
connection to a proxy server.
A proxy server is a computer located between a user and a network. It can be used as a relay to speed up a
network by keeping a list of frequent requests, as part of a gateway system that connects two different
networks, or as part of a firewall that protects a network from security breaches.
During installation, M-Business Connect mirrors your desktop browser’s configuration. If your browser
settings are incorrect, if you want to connect to a different proxy server, or if M-Business Connect is unable
to find your desktop browser configuration, you may need to detect or configure proxy server settings.
If you are unsure of what settings to use, contact your system administrator.
