A lot of computers will NOT be connecting to the Internet anymore until you
change the configuration of the Proxy. For years, we set the Proxy to
"Bess-Proxy.ssd.k12.wa.us". For the last year or so, we also set it to
"Bess-Proxy.seattleschools.org". Up until recently, both addresses
worked. But, with the move of the Servers recently to the new facility,
the "ssd,k12.wa.us" address will no longer work. So, if a computer won't
connect to the Internet, check its Proxy setting.
For Internet Explorer (recent versions), go to
Tools menu
Internet Options
Connections Tab
Lan Settings button
Use a Proxy Server...Advanced Button
http:// Blank ... make sure that it says
"Bess-Proxy.seattleschools.org" and "8080" for the port.
Do NOT have checkmarked "Use the same proxy server for all protocols". If
there are values in the other boxes (like ftp), then delete them.
It is also good to put in the exceptions box "10.*;*.seattleschools.org"
This is how I spent my last week...checking and reconfiguring 402 computers
at Ingraham. But, I did take a shortcut, created a registry hack, and just
popped in a disk and fixed the proxy and fixed a couple other problems at
the same time.
