High-Speed Internet Conflict

Some high-speed internet connections (such as NetZero connections) cause a conflict with our proxy server. This conflict can be resolved by doing the following:

• Launch Internet Explorer
• In the menu bar, click on Tools, then on Internet Options. 
• In the new window, select the Connections tab. 
• Scroll through the Dial-Up settings to locate your high-speed Internet Service Provider (ISP) (e.g. Net Zero). 
• Under Proxy Server, click Advanced. 
• In Exceptions, scroll to the end of the list, then enter the following (with the semi-colon):  ;libcatalog.atu.edu
• Keep clicking OK until all menus close. 

About Security Certificates

Proxy server traffic runs through a secure connection. 

For Internet Explorer 6 and higher:

• After clicking on a database title, a window will open letting you know about the transfer to secure pages. Click "OK" here. 
• On the certificate prompt, click "Yes" to proceed. 
• Login with your network username and password. 
• Click "Yes" to continue.
