Check the box that says Use a proxy server for your LAN. Then, in the Address field below, type the proxy address. In the Port field, type the port that is used by the proxy server. If you are in a business network, you might want to check the box that says Bypass proxy server for local address so that the proxy is not used when accessing websites and services from your network and only when accessing the internet. When done setting things up, click OK in the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings window and then in the Internet Options window.
