How to configure proxy server on Internet Explorer 5

1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Internet.
2. Click the Connections tab, click LAN Settings, and then click to select the Use Proxy Server check box.
3. In the Address box, type the appropriate proxy server information, and use the following format:
http://<address>
4. Click Advanced, and then type the appropriate proxy settings in the Servers area. Use the following syntax for the proxy settings:
http://<address>:<port>
where <address> is the Web address of the proxy server, and <port> is the port number that is assigned to the proxy server. For example, if the proxy server’s address is “proxy.example.microsoft.com” and the port number is 80, the setting in the Proxy Server box should appear like this:

http://proxy.example.microsoft.com:80

Important: If you use a backslash (\) instead of a slash (/) in the proxy server’s address, the settings disappear from the Proxy Server box and Internet Explorer does not find the proxy server.

If you are using the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your proxy server, make sure not to type leading zeros. For example, use 130.25.0.1 instead of 130.025.000.001.
