Information you must supply
To configure a local network connection, you need the following information:
• whether you are connecting directly to the server or through a proxy server (your company may use a proxy server if your internal network is protected by a firewall)
• the server's IP address or domain name
• the port number of the server
• the proxy server's IP address and port number (if you are connecting through a proxy server).
If you do not have all of this information, contact your administrator.

To configure your connection
1 Open the FirstClass FirstClass Login form.
If FirstClass is already running, choose Collaborate > Connect.
2 Make sure the settings file you want to configure is selected at "Address".
If the settings file for the server is not listed here, do one of the following:
• click Browse to find and select it
• update home.fc
• create a new settings file for the server.
To create a new settings file, type the name you want to give the settings file at "Address". If you are using Windows, make sure the name ends with .fc.
