Connecting remotely through the network
When connected through a proxy server, a connection session to a media server tends to time out. To
avoid having the media server time out during a session, add the media servers’ host names or IP
addresses to the list of host names and IP addresses.
NOTE:
Instructions are for Internet Explorer 6.0 only.
1 Click Tools > Internet Options.
2 Select the Connection tab.
3 Click on LAN settings, then Advanced.
4 In the Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with: field, type in
the IP address for each media server you intend to access remotely. If the IP addresses have the
first or first and second octets the same, you can shorten it to xxx.xxx.* (example, 135.9.*).
