<tease>How do I configure a laptop that I connect with from both work and home?</tease>
<reveal>
<p>From home, you probably connect to the Internet through an ISP with a dial-up connection. At work, you probably connect through a <glossary tNum="288846">local area network (LAN)</glossary> that uses a <glossary>proxy server</glossary>. Ask your network administrator which proxy settings you should use. Consult Internet Explorer's online Help to set up two different Internet connections.</p>
