Your senior IT administrator has just set up a proxy server, and you are tasked with adding settings for it to every computer in your network. What information is required to effectively configure the proxy server in Windows Settings' Network & Internet group?

To configure a proxy server in Windows Settings, all you need is the server's IP address and port number. You should also choose the option "Don't use the proxy server for local (intranet) addresses." You won't need the router's or DHCP server's IP addresses, unless the router is also acting as a proxy server. A router determines if a packet belongs on the LAN or another network, and a DHCP server assigns IP addresses and other network settings to devices that connect to a network.
