How to Install the Proxy Server

For Internet Explorer

Not using the proxy server is the leading cause of Internet slowdowns for students in the residence Halls. If you’re using Windows XP and Internet Explorer, you can use the netsetup program to install the proxy server. The proxy server can also be used on Firefox. For a Macintosh, see the OSX setup instructions. Punxsutawney campus has its own proxy server.
