How to Change the Proxy Number

If you are using a proxy server to connect to the Internet, you must have Internet Explorer properly configured to connect to the server. A proxy server acts as a bridge between the computer and the Internet. This setting can be accessed in Internet Explorer and can be manually configured in case of a proxy server change. To properly configure Internet Explorer to connect to the proxy server, you must have the correct server address and port number.

Instructions

1. Double-click the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop. This will open the web browser in its own window.

2. Click the "Tools" drop-down menu located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, then click "Internet Options."

3. Click the "Connections" tab, then click the "LAN Settings" or "Dial-up Settings" buttons. The option you select must match the network setup you are currently using.

4. Click the "Use a proxy server for this connection" box to check mark it.

5. Enter the correct proxy server address into the "Address" dialog box, then enter the correct "Port" number into the "Port" dialog box.

6. Click "OK" to save the changes made.
