Figure 448 Options - Internet
This tab details the following:
Use Web browser settings — 3Com Network Director uses the
same settings as your default browser to connect to the Internet. This
is the recommended setting if the default browser on your PC is
supported by 3Com Network Director.
Direct connection to the Internet — 3Com Network Director
connects directly to the Internet through the LAN.
Custom proxy settings — 3Com Network Director uses a proxy
server that you specify to connect to the Internet. This is the
recommended setting if you require a proxy server to connect to the
Internet and your default browser is not configured to use that proxy,
or your default browser is not supported by 3Com Network Director.
This is also recommended if your proxy server requires authentication.
