d. When the utility launches, select Actions | Start connection tests.
e. The “Connectivity Test Settings” dialog box will display. If there is an HTTP proxy server in your network and you know its address and login information, enter this in the fields provided. If you do not know this information, simply leave this field blank. Select “Accept”.
Note
