The cache stores copies of all web pages that are accessed. If that page is accessed again, a local copy is used. This reduces download times and network charges.

This means you do not need to use the Socks server and should be able to use programs like ICQ without proxy or firewall settings. Troubleshooting If you have followed all of the steps of the registration procedure and can connect to the University web pages but still do not have access to off-campus web sites you may need to renew the network address of your computer. If your connection to the network was working and you suddenly find you are unable to connect to external sites, it may be that you have exceeded your download quota. To prevent abuse of the network, each user may only download a certain amount of data in a given period. For details see the quota web page .
