5.2 Proxy Settings
Proxy settings effect the way your computer and browser connect to other
computers on the Internet and local networks. It is highly recommended that you
consult your network support staff before changing these settings described here.
Most corporations go through a proxy server to access the Internet via the
corporate network. If you wish to access the Internet directly through VZGlobal,
BroadbandAccess or NationalAccess, proxy settings must be turned off. If you are
connecting to your corporation’s network using VPN (Virtual Private Networking)
and your corporation uses proxies, then you would need the correct proxy settings
to be able to access the Internet. For exact details on the proxy settings needed
when accessing your corporate network, contact your corporate network technical
support department if you need additional assistance.
When accessing the Internet directly,performance is improved because you
eliminate VPN client overhead. Also, for BroadbandAccess and NationalAccess,
if the Venturi compression software is installed, it will also increase performance
when you are accessing the Internet directly. When using a VPN client, it creates a
secure connection to your corporate network and prevents accessing the Venturi
compression servers on the Verizon Wireless network, so Venturi is of no value
when you are using VPN.
Proxy settings if using Internet Explorer (version 5 and newer)
If you are using proxy settings, when connected to a corporate network via your
Network adapter, they will be entered under LAN settings. These settings apply to
devices that appear to Windows as Network adapters - this includes Wi-Fi adapters
as well as your Network adapter. You can access the LAN Settings by doing the
following:
STEP 1: In Internet Explorer, select “Tools,” “Internet Options.”
