Setting the Proxy Server Preferences
To set your proxy server preferences:

Preferences dialog box.
2. On the Proxy tab, set your preferences for the server:
• Use System Settings - Click to use the LAN settings in the system registry. This is the default
preference.
You can review the current LAN settings in the Control Panel. On the Start menu, point to Control
Panel and type Internet Options in the Search box. In the search results, click Internet
Options. On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings.
• Use Direct Connection - Click to override the system LAN settings and try to connect directly to
the Internet (not through a proxy server).
• Use Proxy Server - Click to set and use the proxy server settings to connect to the Internet. Ask
your system administrator for the settings to use.
If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, the proxy server may require authentication
in the form of a user name and password. Your system administrator should tell you what these
are. If a user name and password are required, you are prompted for them via a dialog when
MapInfo Professional attempts to connect to the Internet, such as when drawing a tile server layer.
Within a session you only need to specify the username and password once.
• Settings - Click to set the proxy server options. See Setting the Custom Proxy Server
Preferences for instructions on completing these settings.
