How do I know if I need to do this?
Check the documentation given to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) (An Internet Service Provider performs the actual connection to the Internet for you. Typically, your ISP will give you a phone number to dial using your modem.) or ask your network administrator to see if you need a proxy. If so, then follow this procedure to configure your proxy server.
This opens the Internet Explorer Internet Properties dialog box.
How do I know which one to select?
If you donÆt know if you connect with a modem or using a local-area network, click the Connect button to run the Internet Connection wizard.
5 In the Proxy server area, check Access the Internet using a proxy server.
For additional server types, click Advanced.
What is a local-area network (LAN)?
A LAN is used when you have a direct connection to the Internet and don't need to dial your modem to connect.
Can I still connect if I donÆt use Microsoft Internet Explorer?
Yes. Money simply uses the Internet Explorer connection settings to make the initial connection. Once connected, you have access to the Internet from inside Money through the internal Web browser (The browser that opens within Money to allow you to view Web pages without having to leave the Money program.), or you can explore the Web with your default Web browser (The stand-alone browser that you normally use to access the Internet.).
