--------------------------------------------------------Browser Proxy Settings Adjustment
If you use a proxy server for Internet connections, the local host address for
BioInquiry ("127.0.0.1") has to be added to the proxy bypass list of your browser (see
menu "Tools/Internet Options.../Connections(Tab)/LAN
Settings/Advanced.../Exceptions: Do not use proxy server for addresses
beginning with:" "127.0.0.1"). This makes your local host communication faster and
more reliable and does not affect your browser security in any way. If you use
Internet Explorer, this proxy bypass will be added automatically after the program is
started.
If you use Netscape Navigator, you need to adjust settings manually as follows:
1. Select Edit > Preferences...
2. Expand Advanced > Proxy from the Category list, and then click the View button to
see the manual proxy configuration;
3. Type "127.0.0.1" into the Exceptions field of the Manual Proxy Configuration
dialog box.
4. Click OK.
NOTE: If you have difficulties with configuring your Netscape Navigator browser see
the appropriate animation (nc_config.exe) on your CD.
--------------------------------------------------------MS Internet Explorer Settings Adjustment
---------------------------------------a) Working offline. You will not be able to browse your course content correctly if
you switch your browser to the Offline mode. Make sure you have unchecked the
"File / Work Offline" menu item.
b) You may receive browser error messages while browsing your course if your
Internet Explorer settings differ from their default values. In most cases setting
"Medium" security level for the Internet Web content zone will be enough for proper
Edugen operation. This is a default browser setting so Edugen will work unless
someone has changed it.
c) The following Explorer settings block the technologies that are generally used now.
Their default values are acceptable. Nevertheless if changed they can distort some
Course pages as well as any other pages coming from the web. Make sure they are set
to their default values:
- Tools/Internet Options/Advanced (Tab)/"Multimedia:Show Pictures" checkbox checked
- Tools/Internet Options/General (Tab)/Accessibility.../"Ignore colors specified on
web pages" checkbox - unchecked
- Tools/Internet Options/General (Tab)/Accessibility.../"Ignore font styles specified on
web pages" checkbox - unchecked
- Tools/Internet Options/General (Tab)/Accessibility.../"Ignore font sizes specified on
web pages" checkbox - unchecked
- Tools/Internet Options/General (Tab)/Accessibility.../ "Format documents using my
style sheet" checkbox - unchecked
d) Corporate security issues. You might be unable to change your browser security
settings if your browser is deployed in a network environment that implies advanced
corporate security regulation. If so, consult your system administrator and try the
following:
1. Add your local host address (127.0.0.1) to the "Trusted sites" Web content zone of
your browser or find a Web content zone where this address is located:
1.1. Choose the "Security" tab from the menu "Tools/Internet Options".
1.2. Select "Trusted sites" Web content zone.
1.3. Press "Sites...".
1.4. Check the "Web sites" list for "127.0.0.1" address availability and if it is not
there, type it in the "Add this Web site to the zone" field and press the "Add" button.
1.5. If the address you have just typed is already assigned to some other Internet zone,
then you will be prompted by the following alert message:
"The site you specified already exists in another zone. Please remove the site from
that zone before adding it to the current zone"
This means that either "Local Intranet" or "Restricted Sites" Web content zone already
has "127.0.0.1" address assigned. If so, then press "OK" to close the "Trusted sites"
window and ascertain the "127.0.0.1" address location before you proceed to the next
step:
- check "Local Intranet" Web content zone, press "Sites..." button, then
"Advanced..." button in the opened window and verify the "Local Intranet" Web
address list. Press "OK" to close the "Local Intranet" window and then "OK" one
more time to close another "Local Intranet" window;
- check the "Restricted sites" Web content zone, then press "Sites..." button and
verify the "Restricted sites" Web address list. Press "OK" to close the "Restricted
sites" window.
2. Tune-up your browser security settings for the content zone that includes
"127.0.0.1" (or the zone you have revealed to carry "127.0.0.1" address):
2.1. Select the Web content zone that carries "127.0.0.1" address.
2.2. Press "Custom level..." button. This will invoke the "Security settings" window.
2.3. Make sure permissions are granted to the following actions:
- "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins" - Enable (allow running browser plug-ins such
as Flash, QuickTime etc.);
- "Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting" - Enable (required for JavaScript
and Java applets interaction);
- "Java permissions" - one of the following: "High safety" OR "Medium safety" OR
"Low safety";
- "Active scripting" - Enable (JavaScript permission);
- "Scripting of Java applets" - Enable (required for the JavaScript and Java applets
interaction).
2.4. Press "OK" to close the "Security Settings" window.
3. Press "OK" to close the "Internet Options" window.
e) If your browser displays the alert message: "Sorry, Content Advisor will not allow
you to see this site" while running BioInquiry 2, please consult your system
administrator for the Content Advisor permissions tune-up.
--------------------------------------------------------Netscape Communicator Settings Adjustment
----------------------------------------a) Working offline. You will not be able to browse your course content correctly if
you set your browser to the Offline mode. Switch online by selecting the
"File / Offline /Work Online" menu item.
b) If you are unable to run BioInquiry 2 with your Netscape browser then check the
following essential browser settings. The default values of these parameters are
acceptable. Nevertheless if changed they can block proper BioInquiry 2 operation.
1. Select menu " Edit/Preferences..." item, then open "Advanced" category
2. Make sure following option values are set to their defaults:
- "Automatically load images" - checked.
- "Enable Java" - checked;
- "Enable JavaScript" - checked;
- "Enable style sheets" - checked;
3. Press "OK" to close "Preferences" window.
c) Following Netscape settings can block the technologies that are generally used
now. Their default values are acceptable. Nevertheless, if changed they can distort
some Course pages as well as any other pages coming from the Web. Make sure they
are set to their default values:
1. Change to the "Appearance/Fonts" category and make sure that the "Use my default
fonts, overriding document-specified fonts" option is unchecked;
2. Change to the "Appearance/Colors" category and make sure that the "Always use
my colors, overriding document" option is unchecked;
3. Press "OK" to close the "Preferences" window.
d) If your browser displays "NetWatch Protection Alert" messages while running your
BioInquiry 2 program, please consult your system administrator for the NetWatch
permissions tune-up.
--------------------------------------------------------Netscape QuickTime Plug-In Troubleshooting:
1.
Open the QuickTime player.
2.
Use the pull-down menu Edit->Preferences->QuickTime Preferences. This
invokes the "QuickTime settings" window.
3.
Change the option at the top of the "QuickTime settings" window to "Browser
Plug-in".
4.
Click the "MIME settings..." button. This will bring up the "MIME settings"
window.
5.
Open the "Video" pull-down menu and make sure the "Quick Time Movie" item
is checked.
6.
Press "OK", close the "QuickTime settings" window and quit the QuickTime
player if needed.
--------------------------------------------------------Netscape Flash Player Plug-In Troubleshooting:
Users of Netscape 6.22 may experience problems with the installation of the Flash
Player plug-in. If you experience this problem, you will need to reinstall the Flash
Player from the BioInquiry CD-ROM by double clicking on
flashplayer6axinstaller.exe, located in the Installers folder.
=============================================================
Switching between browsers:
If both Netscape Navigator V4.7X and Internet Explore V5.0 or higher versions are
installed on your system it is possible to switch the program to use the one of your
choice. To do this:
1. The BioInquiry program will need to be running. Restore the Edugen server, which
will be minimized on your task bar (usually at the bottom of the screen). To do this,
right click on the Edugen item and choose "Select".
2. Choose your preferred browser and click OK.
3. Shut down BioInquiry and restart to select the new browser.
4. So that your new browser displays the program correctly it may be necessary to
install the following components again: MS Java machine, Shockwave Player and
QuickTime. These programs can be found on the root of your CD if required.

------------------------------TROUBLESHOOTING AND OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
TCP-IP protocol:
TCP/IP is the underlying communication protocol for the Internet. Your BioInquiry
CD uses this protocol and cannot function properly on a system without TCP/IP
support. BioInquiry Setup checks for the presence of TCP/IP and displays a warning
message if it is not present.
If you have an Internet Service provider to allow you to send email and browse the
Internet, then TCP/IP should be set up already.
NOTE: TCP-IP protocol installation requires the Windows set-up CD-ROM.

--------------------------------------------------------Browser Proxy Settings Adjustment
If you use a proxy server for Internet connections, the local host address for
BioInquiry ("127.0.0.1") has to be added to the proxy bypass list of your browser (see
menu "Tools/Internet Options.../Connections(Tab)/LAN
Settings/Advanced.../Exceptions: Do not use proxy server for addresses
beginning with:" "127.0.0.1"). This makes your local host communication faster and
more reliable and does not affect your browser security in any way. If you use
Internet Explorer, this proxy bypass will be added automatically after the program is
started.
If you use Netscape Navigator, you need to adjust settings manually as follows:
1. Select Edit > Preferences...
2. Expand Advanced > Proxy from the Category list, and then click the View button to
see the manual proxy configuration;
3. Type "127.0.0.1" into the Exceptions field of the Manual Proxy Configuration
dialog box.
4. Click OK.
NOTE: If you have difficulties with configuring your Netscape Navigator browser see
the appropriate animation (nc_config.exe) on your CD.
--------------------------------------------------------MS Internet Explorer Settings Adjustment
---------------------------------------a) Working offline. You will not be able to browse your course content correctly if
you switch your browser to the Offline mode. Make sure you have unchecked the
"File / Work Offline" menu item.
b) You may receive browser error messages while browsing your course if your
Internet Explorer settings differ from their default values. In most cases setting
"Medium" security level for the Internet Web content zone will be enough for proper
Edugen operation. This is a default browser setting so Edugen will work unless
someone has changed it.
c) The following Explorer settings block the technologies that are generally used now.
Their default values are acceptable. Nevertheless if changed they can distort some
Course pages as well as any other pages coming from the web. Make sure they are set
to their default values:
- Tools/Internet Options/Advanced (Tab)/"Multimedia:Show Pictures" checkbox checked
- Tools/Internet Options/General (Tab)/Accessibility.../"Ignore colors specified on
web pages" checkbox - unchecked
- Tools/Internet Options/General (Tab)/Accessibility.../"Ignore font styles specified on
web pages" checkbox - unchecked
- Tools/Internet Options/General (Tab)/Accessibility.../"Ignore font sizes specified on
web pages" checkbox - unchecked
- Tools/Internet Options/General (Tab)/Accessibility.../ "Format documents using my
style sheet" checkbox - unchecked
d) Corporate security issues. You might be unable to change your browser security
settings if your browser is deployed in a network environment that implies advanced
corporate security regulation. If so, consult your system administrator and try the
following:
1. Add your local host address (127.0.0.1) to the "Trusted sites" Web content zone of
your browser or find a Web content zone where this address is located:
1.1. Choose the "Security" tab from the menu "Tools/Internet Options".
1.2. Select "Trusted sites" Web content zone.
1.3. Press "Sites...".
1.4. Check the "Web sites" list for "127.0.0.1" address availability and if it is not
there, type it in the "Add this Web site to the zone" field and press the "Add" button.
1.5. If the address you have just typed is already assigned to some other Internet zone,
then you will be prompted by the following alert message:
"The site you specified already exists in another zone. Please remove the site from
that zone before adding it to the current zone"
This means that either "Local Intranet" or "Restricted Sites" Web content zone already
has "127.0.0.1" address assigned. If so, then press "OK" to close the "Trusted sites"
window and ascertain the "127.0.0.1" address location before you proceed to the next
step:
- check "Local Intranet" Web content zone, press "Sites..." button, then
"Advanced..." button in the opened window and verify the "Local Intranet" Web
address list. Press "OK" to close the "Local Intranet" window and then "OK" one
more time to close another "Local Intranet" window;
- check the "Restricted sites" Web content zone, then press "Sites..." button and
verify the "Restricted sites" Web address list. Press "OK" to close the "Restricted
sites" window.
2. Tune-up your browser security settings for the content zone that includes
"127.0.0.1" (or the zone you have revealed to carry "127.0.0.1" address):
2.1. Select the Web content zone that carries "127.0.0.1" address.
2.2. Press "Custom level..." button. This will invoke the "Security settings" window.
2.3. Make sure permissions are granted to the following actions:
- "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins" - Enable (allow running browser plug-ins such
as Flash, QuickTime etc.);
- "Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting" - Enable (required for JavaScript
and Java applets interaction);
- "Java permissions" - one of the following: "High safety" OR "Medium safety" OR
"Low safety";
- "Active scripting" - Enable (JavaScript permission);
- "Scripting of Java applets" - Enable (required for the JavaScript and Java applets
interaction).
2.4. Press "OK" to close the "Security Settings" window.
3. Press "OK" to close the "Internet Options" window.
e) If your browser displays the alert message: "Sorry, Content Advisor will not allow
you to see this site" while running BioInquiry 2, please consult your system
administrator for the Content Advisor permissions tune-up.
--------------------------------------------------------Netscape Communicator Settings Adjustment
