the same settings as Internet Explorer (Recommended) and click Next. If you do not use a proxy server, select I do
not use a proxy server.
To configure your proxy server settings, select I use a proxy server and click Next. Enter the IP address or URL of your
proxy server in the Address field. In the Port field, specify the port where the proxy server accepts connections (3128 by
default). In the event that the proxy server requires authentication, enter a valid Username and Password to grant
