Configuring your Proxy settings
If you are trying to connect to the internet on Wireless, on campus or at any of the University Colleges (eg: SUV, St Johns), you will be required to change proxy settings to the USYD Proxy settings.
If you are using wireless, you have the ability to use FREE CACHE, which allows 6mb of free internet viewing a day. You will be required to put in the Manual Settings instead of the Auto Settings.
