Can a proxy server affect Glencoe TechCONNECT connectivity?
Many large companies (such as McGraw-Hill) and many schools use a proxy server to help manage Internet usage by employees. Such a system provides increased security and control over what a user can view. However, this increased security often comes at the expense of a user’s ability to configure his or her system. Therefore, some users will make proper and necessary adjustments to browsers and still not achieve success due to a setting at the proxy-server level. In this case, users should contact their system administrator. My school has a T1 line but our connection speed is still too slow. Contact your network administrator. He or she may need to dedicate more bandwidth to your classroom or lab.
