Disabling Dial-up and Proxy
1. Usually you can determine if you are running firewall software by looking
in the systems tray. This is located in your lower right-hand side of your
screen. Most common firewall software applications are Zone Alarm, Black
Ice Defender, Norton, and McAfee. If you want to disable these, you can
usually right-click these icons and look for a menu that gives you an option
to EXIT, SHUT DOWN or CLOSE.
2. If you have a Dial-up and/or proxy server connection, you can disable this
by launching your Internet Explorer browser. Click on the "Stop" icon
(marked by a circle with a check mark). Then, click on "Tools" and select
"Internet Options". You will see several tabs at the top of this window.
Click on the "Connections" tab. Now you should various radio buttons to
choose from. Select “Never dial a connection”. To disable your proxy
server, click on the "LAN Settings" button. This will open a window called
Local Area Network Settings properties. Make sure that absolutely nothing
is checked.
