This course contains virtual labs. In a virtual lab, you will access a live hardware and software emulation environment by using your Internet connection. You must meet specific system requirements to utilize the virtual lab system.
A note about virtual lab system requirements: If you log on to the Internet from behind a proxy server, you may not be able to access a virtual lab. This affects AOL and Gateway.net users who use a modified browser and those who access virtual lab technology from behind a corporate firewall. Modified browser users should use either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator (both 4.0 or higher). Users who are behind a corporate proxy server should access virtual lab technology through a commercial ISP account.
Please note that you connect to the virtual lab hosting platform via the VNS protocol.
As a result, you must connect through ports 5800-5821 and 5900-5921. Please contact your system administrator to enable these ports for your workstation if necessary.
