For Information Storage and Retrieval Students:

1. Before going further, you will need to set up the proxy server as detailed in the paper copy of the assignment. For simplicity, the instructions are repeated here. The address is: vidcap.sis.pitt.edu and the Port is 8050.
   • Internet Explorer: select 'Internet Options' from the 'View' menu. On the 'Connection' page, check the box 'access...'
     
   • Netscape 4.0: select 'Preferences' from the 'Edit' menu. Select 'Proxies' from the 'Advanced' category. Select 'Manual proxy configuration' and 'View...' You will enter the address and port information on the HTTP line.
     
   • Netscape 3.0: select 'Options' menu then 'Network Preferences' and follow (b).
     

2. Here are links to the sites that need to be explored for Assignment #12. Visit both these sites in any order.

   • WebVIBE
     
   • Text-based Infoseek
     
3. Finally, remove the proxy server. To do this, find the form that you used to install the server. Turn off the connection to the server.

NOTE: If you experience problems especially messages from your browser that a location cannot be found, disconnect the proxy server by going back to the form and unchecking the option. Then continue with your task.
