Web Browser Setup Instructions for AOL or CompuServe Users

1. AOL and CompuServe users who have not updated to the latest version of AOL will need to install a independent Netscape browser.  The AOL or CompuServe browser will NOT work with the proxy server.

2. Download into an icon on your desktop Netscape 7.10 Clicking on the Netscape links will open a new window, click on the x in the upper right of that window to come back to this window and the rest of the instructions.
3. Minimize your screen, then install Netscape Navigator by clicking on the file/icon you just downloaded. Do NOT make it your preferred browser if asked. Then start up Netscape Navigator and configure it as shown here.

Netscape Version 7.10
• Highlight and copy this address > http://132.194.32.30:8080/proxy.pac
• Select Edit on the top menu 
• Select Preferences

Note: While you are in preferences you may want to change the browser home page location to Auraria Library (http://library.auraria.edu) for ease of use. Then each time you open Netscape you'll be at the Library home page. 

• Click on the triangle at the left of the word Advanced near the bottom of the category list (left column)
• Click on the word Proxies that appears
• Click on the Automatic Proxy Configuration button
• Paste the address from above in Configuration Location (URL): box: http://132.194.32.30:8080/proxy.pac
• Click on Reload and then click OK in the box.

5. Each time you want to use your Auraria Library databases you will need to first logon normally, then minimize that screen and click on the icon you've just created for Netscape. Then just click on any of the links to the databases anywhere in the Library website.
6. If you get the same kind of denials as before ... your browser is not correctly configured yet. Contact the Reference Desk (303-556-2585) or the Distance Librarian (303-556-2791) and we'll help you get set up for using the databases from off campus.
