Manual Proxies and Netscape Communicator

[Andrew J. Mutch]

Denise,

Please see my help pages at:

http://northville.lib.mi.us/tech/lockin.htm

This explains how to use the manual proxy setting in Netscape Navigator to
restrict machines to specific IP addresses.  BTW, I only posted this
information, the actual technique came from another Web4Lib member.
