CS Connect: Use a proxy server to download/apply application updates
Using CS Connect, you can obtain the application updates relevant to the applications you have installed as soon as the updates become available.
If you are not successful connecting to CS Connect when using a proxy server, try the following.
- Test your connection. To do this, selectCS Connect,Communications Setup, thenTest Connection. If any test fails, continue with the list to correct the connection issue.
- In UltraTax CS, selectCS Connect, thenCommunications Setupand select theProxy Settingsoption. Verify that the address and port listed here match those that are listed in theLAN Settings. To locate theLAN Settingson your computer, enterInternet Optionsin the search field next to the Windows Start button, then selectConnectionsandLAN Settings.
- If you receive a403 Authentications is Invalidor similar error, accessCS Connect,Communications Setup, thenProxy Settings, and unmark theProxy Authenticationcheckbox. This may be an option that you have marked, but don’t need because it is not set up on your proxy server. If you are certain that you use proxy authentication, then you will need to verify your username and password with your network administrator. Or try another username and password (possibly the administrator's).
- Verify thatPorts 80- IP address (167.68.25.183) and443- IP address (167.68.25.115) are open for both inbound and outbound traffic.
- Firewall and Internet Security: Check for any antivirus applications, Norton Internet Security, McAfee Firewall, Spy Ware, or pop up blockers installed. If you have any of these installed, turn them off when trying to use to CS Connect. These applications packages could prohibit a Proxy connection.
- If the previous options fail and you have an ISA 2000 proxy server (the most common), read the following Microsoft Article that may help you configure your proxy server (MS295667).
UltraTax CS gives you the option to run in a proxy server environment through CS Connect; however, there is a vast number of different proxy servers on the market and various possible configurations within each. You may need to contact your network administrator so that the proxy server can be appropriately configured.
