Security on the internet is of great concern to everyone. Some sites
have put in place added security through the use of a firewall or a proxy
server. A firewall protects your network by allowing only certain types
of transmissions to go to and come from the internet. A proxy server hides
your machine's real IP address from the general internet community and
is often used together with a firewall.
Firewalls may deny access for our EXPERT Knowledge Finder software
to search our internet databases. We have devised a small test that might
determine if you have a firewall located at your site or through your internet
service provider.
-
Check to see if your web browser is using a proxy server. To do this with
Netscape, select "Network Preferences" from the "Options" menu, and click
on the "Proxies" tab. If "No Proxies" is selected, then you do not use
a proxy server. If "Manual Proxy Configuration" is selected, you must click
on the "View" button and see if there any of the fields are filled in.
If all the fields are blank, then you do not use a proxy server. With Microsoft
Internet Explorer, choose "Options" from the "View" menu. If the "Connect
through a proxy server" item is not checked, then you do not use a proxy
server. In any other case, you are using a proxy server. Knowledge Finder
version 4.2 is compatible with most proxy servers.

Check to see if your site or service provider is using a firewall that
will prevent Knowledge Finder from communicating with Aries Systems
Database Servers
If you failed either of these two tests, please print out our Firewall
Compatibility page and give it to your IS department. They will be
able to determine if the firewall can be made to allow you to use Knowledge
Finder.
