[WEB4LIB] proxy server connection problems--MSN and AOL????

[Elizabeth A Reiten]

Quick note about AOL users accessing proxy servers:  They don't have to 
change ISP's, they just have to minimize the AOL "environment" and use 
either Netscape <6.* or IE.  I was finally able (after about 9 months of 
being ignored) to track down someone at AOL who explained how to make it 
work for our users.  We have fantastic luck with Netscape, not so great 
with IE.

I'm afraid I don't know anything specifically about MSN as an ISP.  Sorry!

Good morning--
thanks for the help on fixing problems with I.E. and proxy server 
connection.  So far, so good.
Next situation--
I received additional information about problems with patrons using AOL as 

their ISP (evidently AOL changes proxy settings automatically and thus, 
patrons can't get into the proxy server--evidently need to change ISPs)

What about MSN as an ISP? Does it do something similar to AOL?

THanks,
Renee
