How to Specify a Network Proxy (GUI)

This procedure describes how to update the network proxy from the Update Manager application. Use this procedure if your system requires a network proxy to connect to the Internet. If your system is already connected directly to the Internet, you do not need to specify a network proxy.

To specify this network proxy information from the registration wizard, see Step 5 of How to Register Your System.

2. Choose Preferences from the File menu.

3. In the Network Proxy section, select Manual Proxy Configuration for Internet Connection.

4. Type the host name of the network proxy in the Proxy Host Name field.

5. Type the port number of the network proxy in the Proxy Port Number field.

   1. Type your network proxy user name in the Proxy User Name field.

   2. Type your network proxy password in the Proxy Password field.
