Set up Internet Explorer 6.x to access UCSD resources from off campus via the proxy server with Windows XP and earlier.
You need administrator privileges and your network username and password to authenticate your computer with the proxy server. If you've forgotten your username or password, see Getting or Changing UCSD Passwords.
Some off-campus wireless providers may not work with the proxy. If you have trouble, use the UCSD VPN instead.
