Bypass Proxy Server For Local Addresses
F Bypassing a Proxy Server
Users who are granted Administrator access privileges should not connect to the Mobile Server through a proxy server. The Mobile Server will not be able to see the IP addresses of their client machines and, therefore, will not be able to provide them with Administrator-level access.
Administrators who usually connect to the network through a proxy server must bypass the proxy server before connecting to the Mobile Server.
To configure the client machine to bypass a proxy server, perform the following steps.
Double-click the Internet Explorer icon on your desktop and select Internet Options from the Tools menu. The browser displays the Internet Options dialog box.
