2.4.4 Configuring Network Proxies

The Network Proxy Configuration tool lets you configure how your system connects to the Internet.
You can configure the desktop to connect to a proxy server and specify the details of the server. A
proxy server is a server that intercepts requests to another server and fulfills the request itself, if it
can. You can specify the Domain Name Service (DNS) name or the Internet Protocol (IP) address of
the proxy server. A DNS name is a unique alphabetic identifier for a computer on a network. An IP
address is a unique numeric identifier for a computer on a network.
Click Computer > Control Center > System > Network Proxies.
