Configuring a Proxy Server

If your network uses a proxy server for HTTP requests, make sure the Java Web Start Application Manager is properly configured with the IP address of your proxy server.

To configure a proxy server in the Java Web Start Application Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Double-click the Java Web Start application manager icon on your Windows desktop, or Chose Program Files > Java Web Start.
  2. Select File > Preferences from the Java WebStart Application Manager.
  3. Click the Manual radio button and enter the IP address of the proxy server in the HTTP Proxy field.
  4. Enter the HTTP port number used by your proxy service in the HTTP Port field.
  5. Click OK.
