Connection Settings
Your organisation or Internet service provider may offer or require you to use a proxy. A proxy acts as an intermediary between your computer and the Internet. It intercepts all requests to the Internet to see if it can fulfil the request using its cache. Proxies are used to improve performance, filter requests, and hide your computer from the Internet to improve security. Proxies are often part of a corporate firewall.

Internet Explorer 6’s proxy settings can be found under Tools >> Internet Options and the Connections tab.
