Connecting to the internet.

Now it is time for me to connetc my PC to the internet. As I am connecting via a LAN ( Local Area Network) there is no need for me to set up a personal account with an ISP ( Internet Service Provider). To connect to the internet I simple have to open up an internet browser ( default Internet Explorer), I then go to tools, and then internet options, which brings up an external box. Within this box are various options for me to chose from, but I need to use the connections tab. Once in the connections tab I then need to click on the " LAN Settings" button which will bring up yet another external box. To enable my computer to use the internet I need to connect using a proxy server, which is a server, which services the requests of its clients by forwarding requests to other servers. Once I click the " use a proxy serever for your LAN ..." checkbox, I can now enter an address and a port to use for internet connection. The address I will be using is a server called "oscar" on port 8080. I do not check the " bypass proxy server for local addresses" checkbox and now click "ok". I now apply the settings and refresh the page, which should automatically re-direct me to the default microsoft homepage. My PC is now ready with internet access, which means I can no update my version of windows, and download new drivers and software inluding AVG anti-virus.
