5-1.2 Bypass Proxy Server Settings

If a site has a proxy server, and the local network is not set to bypass it, client computers attempting

to access the eServer project on the host computer may not be able to download the latest ActiveX

control. They will instead be redirected to the proxy server to download whatever version that

is cached on the proxy server. This may be an older version than what is required for the client

computer in order to access the eServer project correctly.

The workaround to this problem is to bypass the proxy server if the IP address requested by the client

computer is on the local network. Follow the steps below to configure Internet Explorer to bypass the

proxy server.

Open Internet Options in Internet Explorer and click on Tools Internet Options. From the

Connections tab in the Internet Options window, click on LAN settings, as illustrated in Figure 5-3.

Ensure to check with the Site IT Administrator before bypassing Proxy Settings, as this may cause ancillary connection

issues for the computer.
