Internet Questions:
How Do I setup Internet Explorer to use Bow's proxy server?(Primarily an issue at Bow High School for users of Windows NT: Answered by Bob Jaques (BHS))
The first time you log on to any computer you need to set up the Internet. Right click once on the Internet Explorer icon, select properties, click on the connection tab, check off the box that says to connect through a Proxy server, type in proxy.bownet.org Type 80 in the PORT box. You can also go click on the General tab and type in http://www.bownet.org as the home page. See Mr. Jaques, Mrs. Lizotte, or Mrs. Mottola if you are still having trouble.*NOTE: When you double click on the internet icon you will get a screen that asks you if you want to setup the Internet Explorer. Just click on next and check the box "I already have an internet connection and don’t want to change it" or something of the sort. Then click on finish and your done.

Setting up your Exchange account (Inbox)
- To setup your e-mail account there are a couple of ways of doing this. If it’s on a computer you haven’t setup yet just double click the "Inbox" icon. It will start the Exchange "wizard".
- The first thing it should ask you is to "Select the following information services…." You will want to choose Microsoft Exchange Server. Click on Next
- There will be a box to type in your Profile name. That’s your name you logged onto the computer with. Type it in then click on Next.
- In the box for Microsoft Exchange server type in Odyssey. In the Mailbox box it should already have your name in it. If it doesn’t type it now. Click on Next
- Do you travel with this computer?….check off NO. Click on next.
- This is the fun part. You will want to put your Personal Address book some place. In the box it shows you a path of something like C:\Exchange\mailbox.pab….or something else. You will want to click on browse then at the top of the next box click on Look in. You will want to find your teambhs or teambhs2 folder ( your name in the folder) and click on it. Double click on your name. Click on Open at the bottom. Then it will show you a new path to your Personal address book …H:\teambhs*\yourname\mailbox.pab. You’ll want to save the file in your folder in case you check mail at another computer. Click on Next.
